[Intro]
N.C.
I'd give anything at all to be anywhere but here
N.C.
Breathing only steadies when you start to disappear.
C G Am F x2
[Verse]
C G
You're revvin and drivin' through the night when those stars line up like they should
Am F
You've turned into what you've been through but you used to be of good
C G
You think of that old photograph; your mom in '89
Am F
Your dad laughed said, "She was like that when she'd had herself too much wine."
[Verse]
C G
You'd give anything at all to be anywhere but here
Am F
Your breathing only steadies when you start to disappear.
C G
You wanna be in mountains or smellin' water by the coast
Am F
But you can't get out of your own mind so you settle in and coast
[Chorus]
C G
You just drive... to stay alive
Am F
One more day... passes by
C G
You just drive... through the night
Am F
'til that darkness... turns to sky
[Verse]
C G
And you think about your sister and the mighty soul she has
Am F
She's been sober for a year now; how the time seems to pass
C G
They told you it would go quick but you never tend to listen
Am F
And don't you miss your mama, boy, hummin' hymnals in the kitchen
[Verse]
C G
And the concrete it's the same here as it is in Roger's County
Am F
And I bet those boys are doin' fine, runnin' roads without me
C G
And don't you miss the days that you'd sneak Jack in football games
Am F
No one in this town remembers my name anyways.
[Chorus]
C G
You just drive... to stay alive
Am F
One more day... it passes by
C G
You just drive... through the night
Am F
Until that darkness... turns to sky
[Outro]
C G
You ever been drivin' through the night when those stars line up like they should
Am F
You've turned into what you've been through but you used to be of good
C G
You think of that old photograph; your mom in '89
Am F
Your dad laughed said, "She was like that when she'd had herself too much wine."
