richard cortez - drive

drive

james dean was a rebel
i am not
i'm not a sharp shooter
and this is my last shot
at trying to tell you
just how much you mean to me

you're somewhere in iowa
and i forgot
just how much i missed you
because you are my weak spot
and i need you to come home
a.s.a.p

cause everything it seems
has gone wrong
since you've been gone
and there's no explanation
and i can't seem to wake up on time anymore
since you've been lost in translation

coast to coast

i've taken up smoking
cigarettes
and standing out in the pouring rain
getting soaking wet
waiting for a sign at some phone booth
to be courageous
and call you

there's not really much to say
for our duet
i'm a dysfunctional masochist
who's playing russian roulette
and you're a proper traveler
who wanders round the world
lookin' for something

and i don't need to tell you that you're beautiful
because you know it
and you don't need a savior
hiding behind a guitar
so when does this half-way romance
get it's chance
baby
i need it now

and i don't wanna have to tell you where we are going
just know that we'll get there
when you come home
i'm gonna take you for a ride
and i just wanna see your pretty head sleeping
bumpin' along a long dirt road
on the passenger's side
c'mon baby
let's drive

so...
thank you for the postcard
from the frontline
although, it left me far from grounded
wishing you were mine
because all i've ever wanted was someone
to do that "thing" you do to me

and our love is like a joke i know
but i forgot the punch-line
some people still laugh at it anyway
cause i still tell it from time to time
and every time i do
i think of you
and i go to pieces

cause everything it seems
has gone wrong
since you've been gone
and there's no explanation
and i can't seem to wake up on time anymore
since you've been lost in translation

coast to coast

and i don't need to tell you that you're beautiful
because you know it
and you don't need a savior
hiding behind a guitar
so when does this half-way romance
get it's chance
baby
i need it now

and i don't wanna have to tell you where we are going
just know that we'll get there
when you come home
i'm gonna take you for a ride
and i just wanna see your pretty head sleeping
bumpin' along a long dirt road
on the passenger's side
c'mon baby
let's drive

c'mon baby
let's go for a ride
and drive...
