Lyrics

7. Drove So Far





(chorus)

I drove so far baby, tried to climb so high, just wanted to lose myself, thought I might as well try,

If you never knew me better, baby, it would be alright, 'cause you got the best I had to offer, night after night,



(bridge)

In the end I resolved nothing, but I kept moving on,

In the end I'm just living, breathing, before my time is all gone



(chorus)

Saw mountains, hills, and valleys, deserts, rivers, and stones,

I drove that endless highway, found myself still alone,

Saw some clouds that cast big shadows, the Columbia gorge,

Beautiful sky going on forever to the blue ocean shore



(Bridge)

In the end there's no right answer, everybody's unsure,

The best-laid plans foil the planner, no one has the cure,

No one has the cure



(B section/Coda)
After all the sunny days, sunny days, come around the bend,

After all the sunny days, sunny days, will I lose the plot again?

After all the sunny days, sunny days, come around the bend,

After all the sunny days, sunny days, will I lose the plot again? Will I lose the plot again? Will I lose the plot again?
