I had a dream, a two-seater machine with the top down,
Out on a cruise, put the pedal to use and escape this town,
Clinging to a black top ribbon,
Hugging every asphalt curve,
Painted lines, broken and solid,
Flashing by in a yellow blur, I could
Drive, drive like I'm driven to do,
Drive, drive 'til that dream is in view
To the Pacific or nowhere specific, I hardly care,
As long as I'm moving then nothing needs proving, I'll get somewhere,
Pointed to the sunset, maybe,
I could see some western beach
Tear across the prairies flat out,
The whole world is in my reach, if I
Drive, drive like I'm driven to do,
Drive, drive 'til that dream is in view
On the horizon, the Rockies are risin' I'm getting close,
Winding and snaking through mountains I'm making my run to the coast,
Only two or three more hours
To the sun and sea and sand
All the voltage and horsepower
Gets me to the edge of land, when I
Drive, drive like I'm driven to do,
Drive, drive 'til that dream is in view
Gonna drive, drive like I'm driven to do,
Drive, drive 'til that dream is in view
