lyrics

No one asks me anymore
How you’re doing or where you are
I guess that’s just the way that it go

The house flies and the paper waits
The day breaks when the bed is made
I can tell you want to be alone

But I’m running on adrenaline
I like the skin I’m living in
The blue sky smells like birthday cake
We save the date and celebrate
We drive around singing
We drive around singing

We stand in as our own defense
Count our blessings, count our friends
Hallelujahs never end
We count to ten then count again
We drive around singing
We drive around singing

I think that’s all my stuff she says
You can keep whatever’s left
I’d rather just move on and be done

Well, the mindful and the mindless know
The middle ground is where the trouble grows
And there’s a number lonelier than one

I hear an angel being born
I seize the day and chase the storm
It’s one step back then back and forth
Of course I changed, I changed my course
I drive around singing
I drive around singing

I can’t believe my crazy fortune
Winds of change and wild horses
Days like this are life-affirming
Wolves are howling, wheels are turning
Drive around singing
Drive around singing

I can see the little lights
Of towns that come alive at night
Fight my demons, go the distance
Waterproof and flame-resistant
Drive around singing
Drive around singing

I like the skin I’m living in
I’m running on adrenaline
The blue sky smells like birthday cake
We save the date, we celebrate
We drive around singing
We drive around singing
