Drive

The Gaslight Anthem · Sink or Swim [2007]

In my head

I am already gone

Side roads pointed up

Decisions decided on



But in my nights

There are restless hours

3 AM goes down

Nothing else comes up



And the only thing we know

Is it's getting dark and we better go

And the only thing we say

Are the despairs of the day



And if you're too tired

Go to sleep, my brothers, I

And if you're too tired

Go to sleep, my brothers

I'm alright to drive



But in my heart

I'm the weary kind

I'm much too tired to cry

Though it's sad enough for tears

It's been dropping dry for years

When the next year comes along

I don't know if I'll be home

I don't know if we'll survive



And the only thing we know

Is it's getting dark and we better go

And the only thing we say

Are the despairs of the day



And if you're too tired

Go to sleep, my brothers, I

And if you're too tired

Go to sleep, my brothers

I'm alright to drive



And we're much too young of men

To carry such heavy heads

And tonight for the first time

It felt good to be alive

And we're much too young of men

To carry such heavy heads

And tonight for the first time

It felt good to be alive again, my friend



The only thing we know

Is it's getting dark and we better go

And the only thing we say

Are the despairs of the day



And if you're too tired

Go to sleep, my brothers, I

And if you're too tired

Go to sleep, my brothers, I

And if you're too tired

Go to sleep, my brothers, I

And if you're too tired

Go to sleep, my brothers

I'm alright to drive
