I lived ten years here in New York
Paying my bills and trying to make things work
I've been searching for my purpose here in life
I'm just gonna grab my keys and I'll drive away
I'm gonna get in my car and drive
Don't know where I'm going but that's alright
To the coast, see all the city lights
Through the mountains and down the countryside
Don't know where I'm going to tonight
But I'm just gonna get in my car and drive away
Oh oh oh oh
I stopped a town near the shore
Don't really know what I'm looking for
I'm just trying to find my purpose here in life
But for now I'll just enjoy this wild ride
I'm gonna get in my car and drive
Don't know where I'm going but that's alright
To the coast, see all the city lights
Through the mountains and down the countryside
Don't know where I'm going to tonight
But I'm just gonna get in my car and drive away
Oh oh oh oh
Well it's been ten years and I'm back in New York
And I've begun to work
I sit at a desk, collect people's checks
Just a way to pay off my debt
And while those days are long gone
And just a passing memory
I never will forget when I jumped in my car turned the key
Yeah, I never will forget when I jumped in my car turned the key
I'm gonna get in my car and drive
Don't know where I'm going but that's alright
To the coast, see all the city lights
Through the mountains and down the countryside
Don't know where I'm going to tonight
But I'm just gonna get in my car and drive away
Oh oh oh oh
I lived ten years here in New York
Paying my bills and trying to make things work
I learned my purpose in life was to enjoy this wild ride
So I'm just gonna get in my car and drive
Oh oh oh oh
