Drive

1st Chorus

Drive

Drive to the night

Drive to the night

In a ’52 brown Chevy, drive

In the back seat sitting pretty, drive  

Drive to the night

Drive to the night

 

Verse 1

Along metal roads, we chased the breeze

Past Tane Mahuta, god of the trees

At Waimamaku, we stopped and we ate

Then we headed for camp, before it got late

Drive to the night

Down by a river the waiata flowed

Firelight danced, flickered and glowed

Mirrored in chrome, polished with love

Dew on the ground and stars up above

 

2nd Chorus

Drive to the night

Drive to the night

Wheels were turning

We were learning

To stand still

If history must repeat

At least, let’s do it well

Drive to the night

Drive to the night

 

Verse 2

Rescued and raised, resurrected

My golden girl once rejected

Mountain range, sea and sky

Watch over us as we pass by

Drive to the night

Memories made – more that we’re making

The open road – there for the taking

Sounds lit up and windows down

We’re only lost until we’re found

 

Chorus

Drive to the night

Drive to the night

Wheels were turning

We were learning

To stand still

If history must repeat

At least, let’s do it well

Drive to the night

Drive to the night

Drive to the night

Drive to the night
