Drive Lyrics

I don't claim to know it all
I've had some wins I've had some falls
The road is long and time is short
I don't wanna spend too much time in thought
I don't intend to play it safe
I've gotta move to find my place
I wasn't born for small talk crowds
I know what I want and its not in this town
I don't wanna just survive
I'm gonna hit the road I'm gonna drive
I've hit the highway, and I'm not comin home
I'm gonna drive
I'll do it my way, I'll call you on the phone
When I arrive
It's all I got and I'm not gonna stop for no one
In my way as long as I'm alive
I'm gonna drive
Everything I said I meant, nothing comes by accident
I'll change my name, change my face
To want something better is no disgrace
I'm just following the signs
Keep my eyes ahead I'm gonna drive
I've hit the highway, and I'm not comin home
I'm gonna drive
I'll do it my way, I'll call you on the phone
When I arrive
It's all I got and I'm not gonna stop for no one
In my way as long as I'm alive
I'm gonna drive
I've come a long way
I see the light of day
I think I've found the answers I'm looking for
And there ain't no reason
For turning back, its just one life
I'll play the hand I've got
I'm gonna drive
I've hit the highway, and I'm not comin home
I'm gonna drive
I'll do it my way, I'll call you on the phone
When I arrive
It's all I got and I'm not gonna stop for no one
In my way as long as I'm alive
I'm gonna drive

I don't claim to know it all 
I've had some wins I've had some falls 
The road is long and time is short 
I don't wanna spend too much time in thought 
I don't intend to play it safe 
I've gotta move to find my place 
I wasn't born for small talk crowds 
I know what I want and its not in this town 
I don't wanna just survive 
I'm gonna hit the road I'm gonna drive 
I've hit the highway, and I'm not comin home 
I'm gonna drive 
I'll do it my way, I'll call you on the phone 
When I arrive 
It's all I got and I'm not gonna stop for no one 
In my way as long as I'm alive 
I'm gonna drive 
Everything I said I meant, nothing comes by accident 
I'll change my name, change my face 
To want something better is no disgrace 
I'm just following the signs 
Keep my eyes ahead I'm gonna drive 
I've hit the highway, and I'm not comin home 
I'm gonna drive 
I'll do it my way, I'll call you on the phone 
When I arrive 
It's all I got and I'm not gonna stop for no one 
In my way as long as I'm alive

And there ain't no reason 
For turning back, its just one life 
I'll play the hand I've got 
I'm gonna drive 
I've hit the highway, and I'm not comin home 
I'm gonna drive 
I'll do it my way, I'll call you on the phone 
When I arrive 
It's all I got and I'm not gonna stop for no one 
In my way as long as I'm alive 
I'm gonna drive

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is really emotional. She's saying that this isn't her life and she doesnt belong here anymore, She's driving away from heartbreak and she's doing it make herself happy and she's going to drive to happiness...

one of my fav songs.
