[Verse 1] Window down, salt on skin Last call fading in the rear I pull out slow from the curb With your name still burning clear Empty lanes and billboards hum My hands know every turn by heart A quarter moon in the windshield Like it was waiting in the dark [Pre-Chorus] And the road goes on When the day falls off I can feel you there In the radio wash [Chorus] Midnight drive, midnight drive Keep me alive, keep me alive Midnight drive, midnight drive Hold me close in the blacktop shine (blacktop shine) [Verse 2] Gas station ice in the cup Cherry cola on my tongue Your jacket on the passenger seat Like a promise left undone Overpass, then the tunnel mouth My reflection blinks and fades I was lost in the rearview Now I’m chasing back the days [Pre-Chorus] And the road goes on When the day falls off I can feel you there In the radio wash [Chorus] Midnight drive, midnight drive Keep me alive, keep me alive Midnight drive, midnight drive Hold me close in the blacktop shine (blacktop shine) [Bridge] If you call, I’ll answer once If you don’t, I’ll still go Past the diner, past the bridge Past the places that we know [Chorus] Midnight drive, midnight drive Keep me alive, keep me alive Midnight drive, midnight drive Hold me close in the blacktop shine (blacktop shine) Midnight drive, midnight drive I’m coming back, I’m coming back Midnight drive, midnight drive Till the sky turns silver-black (silver-black)
