Night Drive Lyrics

I take a drive in my car
I take a drive in my car
I see the sun disappear
I see the sun disappear

oh little stranger
bring my baby back to me
oh little stranger
bring my baby back home

my leather glove grips the wheel
my leather glove grips the wheel
i see the sun disappear
i see the sun disappear

oh little stranger
bring my baby back to me
oh little stranger
bring my baby back home

windows down our hair in the breeze
windows down our hair in the breeze
we see the sun reappear
we see the sun reappear

oh little stranger
bring my baby back to me
oh little stranger
bring my baby back home
bring my baby back home

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 about feeling anguished about a lost love and going for a night drive to look for new love with strangers in an attempt to forget the person you still love.

It's about rebound relationships when you're still hoping to get that person you lost back, when you rationalize that being with someone new may bring back that feeling of being with the one we really love.
