Long Drive - Caroline Dare

Long Drive Lyrics

She fakes a smile when she feels broken
So many words go left unspoken
Tries to pretend like there ain't nothing wrong
Walks into school with her head held high but
Little do they know how she feels inside
As she
Watches the days drag on and on
She tries to find a way to escape from all the pain
That Mom and Dad don't seem to recognizeShe's tired of the weight
Got too much on her plate
So she hops into her car
To take a driveRolled down windows
Driving down a backroad
Cranking up her favorite song
Don't know where she's headed
She don't need directions
She'll be driving all night long
The sweet taste of freedom

In the air she's breathing
Just trying to feel alive
Ain't no looking back now
She's gone off the tracks now
It's gonna be a long driveDaddy left home when she turned fifteen
Nobody said life was easy
Tear dried eyes staring at the ceiling
Mama went off and got remarried
Lost her job and just stopped caring
Heart gone numb to feelings not worth bearing
She tries to to find a way to escape from all the pain
That no one else can seem to recognizeShe's tired of the weight
Got too much on her plate
So she hops into her car
To take a driveRolled down windows
Driving down a backroad
Cranking up her favorite song
Don't know where she's headed
She don't need directions
She'll be driving all night long
The sweet taste of freedom
In the air she's breathing
Just trying to feel alive
Ain't no looking back now
She's gone off the tracks now
It's gonna be a long driveAnd oh, she's got the wind in her hair
These roads can take her anywhere
Cause there ain't no destination
On the road that she has takenRolled down windows
Driving down a backroad
Cranking up her favorite song
Don't know where she's headed
She don't need directions
She'll be driving all night long
The sweet taste of freedom
In the air she's breathing
Just trying to feel alive
Ain't no looking back now
She's gone off the tracks now
It's gonna be a long driveAin't no looking back now
She's gone off the tracks now
It's gonna be a long drive
