Let's Take a Drive Lyrics
So he's gone and left you all alone
You think the better of your years
Are spent with him
The little girl who used to dance
On fire and brimstone
Is all but dead
Where's the girl I knew
That held a lighter up to the radio?
She'd do anything she wants
Because she can
We were seventeen and wild and we were jumpin' on
The devil's bed
I didn't raise you like that
Chorus:
I taught you lessons about freedom
Strapped to the bucket of a four five five
I lit your hair on fire
Racing ten mile flats
Where American heavy metal thrives
Oh we were waitin' and wishin'
On pink slips and kisses at the end of the line
And you rat-a-tat tatted on the glass
And you screamed on high
I'm alive
You can say that cat is long gone
Oh I bet you look real hard
You can find that girl within
She's probably waitin' in the wings
For you to come along
Let her ride again
You need a quarter mile, a bunch of horses
And some gasoline
Chorus:
I taught you lessons about freedom
Strapped to the bucket of a four five five
I lit your hair on fire
Racing ten mile flats
Where American heavy metal thrives
Oh we were waitin' and wishin'
On pink slips and kisses at the end of the line
And you rat-a-tat tatted on the glass
And you screamed
I'm alive
I'm alive.
You wanna meet a girl I used to know
Let’s take a drive
You think the better of your years
Are spent with him
The little girl who used to dance
On fire and brimstone
Is all but dead
That held a lighter up to the radio?
She'd do anything she wants
Because she can
We were seventeen and wild and we were jumpin' on
The devil's bed
I didn't raise you like that
I taught you lessons about freedom
Strapped to the bucket of a four five five
I lit your hair on fire
Racing ten mile flats
Where American heavy metal thrives
Oh we were waitin' and wishin'
On pink slips and kisses at the end of the line
And you rat-a-tat tatted on the glass
And you screamed on high
I'm alive
Oh I bet you look real hard
You can find that girl within
She's probably waitin' in the wings
For you to come along
Let her ride again
You need a quarter mile, a bunch of horses
And some gasoline
I taught you lessons about freedom
Strapped to the bucket of a four five five
I lit your hair on fire
Racing ten mile flats
Where American heavy metal thrives
Oh we were waitin' and wishin'
On pink slips and kisses at the end of the line
And you rat-a-tat tatted on the glass
And you screamed
I'm alive
I'm alive.

like he likes being alive and trying to hook his mate up with agirl
It seems to me that he was going out with a girl when they were both 17. They parted for whatever reason and she married a prat and feels she's lost who she was because of trying to make her prat of a husband happy.
Then he, her first love, arrives back in her life and tries to remind her who she was, 'the girl who danced on fire and brimstone,' (my fave line)!
Towards the end he must have been getting through to her, he asks her to take a drive... In my heart she did, they went racing again and she regained who she was, regained her power! And lived happily ever after! :-D
