Drive ft. Tony Denikos Lyrics

Almost a year since they took her away

Nobody ever seems to mention her name

Like a ghost she still visits in letters received time to time

She promised she'd write me whenever she could

Somewhere inside me, I knew that she would

But they lay there unopened, a mountain of fear I can't climb, so I

Drive, where the bright green sugarcane grows

Drive, over waters that boil down below

I'm the man of the house now and I've learned how to drive

Over Bayou Courtableau and the Atchafalaya

I'm crossing those bridges to visit her for the first time

She comes out all dressed up like she's going to church

She's always been thin, now she's so skinny it hurts

I don't want her to touch me but she's staring right into my eyes

So I unlock the door and she climbs in the car by my side and we

Drive, where the bright green sugarcane grows

Drive, over waters that boil down below

Slidell to the East, Baton Rouge to the west

A dark liquid fear oozing up in my chest

She asks, "Are you mad?" I say "No, it's just time to go home."

Drive, where the bright green sugarcane grows

Drive, over waters that boil down below

Drive, holding close to the edge of the road

Drive, away from the world that we've known
