Lyrics
Drive ‘til you find a freeway
The ocean or a mountain
Head east on Sunset Boulevard
And double back on Fountain
And if you find you lose your way
You can consult my Thomas Guide
I would never leave my home
Without it at my side
And there is hardly any reason
Why you would go downtown
The air is thick and brown
And there’s nobody around
The Strip has Tower Records,
And Hollywood’s nearby
We can stand outside the Tommy’s
With a side of chili fries
Drive
Drive
The city backs against the hills
Golden legs flow in the sea
Gasping as she draws the poison air into her lungs
She looks beautiful to me
And if you say she’s just a freeway
You don’t know her like I do
You’ve gotta try out every exit
As you go driving through
And it surely doesn’t matter
If you never see the stars
It takes a thousand miles
Just to find out who you are
Drive
Drive
Drive
Drive
