driven by Lila Burns (original ukulele mandolin song)

seemingly at a standstill
become a bit afflicted
we're just questions without answers
finding where to be directed
they say "you don't have to go to school
but you damn well better know where you are headed"
but we're headed to the end
of the road just past the bend
and i'm just hear to watched the shoulder go by
blurring more and more the faster that we drive

who put up these power lines
and when did they go up
and where do they lead to
cos i hope that i end up
with just as many heart strings across
these long long roads,
across these many many miles
and into many many homes i'm gonna see
just wait and see

i always have a plan
but its forever subjected to
change at any single moment
cos who i am right now
may not be who i am tomorrow
and i know this all too well
i know this all too well

there ain't no maps to read
and there ain't no signs at all
in fact theres only you and where you
think that you have got to crawl to
i hope someday i can live where there ain't no roads at all
where i can wake up every morning to tiny bird calls
saying "we know that you have come so far,
and i hope you know how lucky you are"
believe me i'll know

and we'll
drive, drive, drive,
till we can't
drive, drive, drive,
till we can't
drive, drive, drive anymore
