Been sta-ring at the big hand Wait-ing for the big hi-gh fi-ve On-ly look-ing for-w-a-r-d . To the pur-ga-to-ry drive. Be-tween work and his low life he don't wan-na be at home So he drinks and takes hi-s ti-me un-der the fate of the r-o-a-d. [Chorus] Now he's tak-ing a ri-de though he'd rath-th-er be dead . lone-ly sun-set-d-ri-ve's . The o-n-ly thing that's le-ft. [Verse 2] His mem-or-ies of her wo-n't blur . with-out that lit-tle mix-ture af-raid of thoughts be-com-ing wo-rd-s he don't wan-na be cured . Got-ta leave him al-one . He's on his o-w-n [Chorus] Now he's tak-ing a ri-de though he'd rath-th-er be dead . lone-ly sun-set-d-ri-ve's . The o-n-ly thing that's le-ft. [Verse 3] Do you know that fe-el-ing Of your heart sud-den-ly sink-ing? Love re-placed with smoke Like your so-ul's gett-ing choked. [Chorus] Now he's tak-ing a r-i-de though he'd rath-th-er be dead . lone-ly sun-set-d-ri-ve's . The o-n-ly thing that's le-ft. Now , he's tak-ing a ri-de on the lo-ne-ly the lo-ne-ly sun-set dr-ive. [Verse 3] No-w the trail has go-ne cold I don't know where else to g-o-o-o-o and my time I fe-ar is near-ly ov-er When the oc-ean drinks the sk-y . and the ci-ty winks its e-y-e-e-e when the night is do-ne you'll van-ish in the s-u-u-u-n Will I hold you wh-en the night is ov-er. Am I lost in-side my mi-nd? There's an em-erald in the sky-y-y-y-y I hear the ri-ver say your n-a-a-a-me By the stars ab-o-ve I know we were in lo-ve . I hear the ri-ver say your n-a-a-a-me I have on-ly 'ti-l the night is ov-er.
