"I Love the Drive"

I drive home every couple of weeks
To see Ryan and my family
But the weekends just aren't long enough
And I never get to see everyone
I miss South when I'm home
I miss home when I'm here
I hate the commute
But I love the drive
It gives me a chance to clear my mind
It gives me a chance to breathe
To think about how lucky I am
To have so many people that care about me

Yellow lines broken up coming at me fast
Pine trees blowing in the wind
Speeding cars, headlights
Traffic cops, night sky
Peace and quiet
Loud music
Whatever I want
Cause it's just me

On the ride back to Mobile
I always feel torn
I'm glad to get back
But sad to leave home
Feel like a long-distance relationship
Is much easier said than done
But I'll get through it
I'm happy where I am
Even though I can't be with him
And it gives me something to look forward to
We'll be together soon
And a lifetime is worth much more than a couple of years

Yellow lines broken up coming at me fast
Pine trees blowing in the wind
Speed limits, road work
Slow people, winding country road
Peace and quiet
Loud music
Whatever I want
Cause it's just me

No matter what happens
I'll always know
I made the right decision
I finally made the move


I hate the commute
But I love the drive
It gives me a chance to clear my mind
It gives me a chance to breathe
To think about how lucky I am
To have so many people that care about me

Yellow lines broken up coming at me fast
Pine trees blowing in the wind
Speeding cars, headlights
Traffic cops, night sky
Peace and quiet
Loud music
Whatever I want
Cause it's just me
Speed limits, road work
Slow people, winding country road
Peace and quiet
Loud music
Whatever I want
Cause it's just me

I love the drive
It gives me a chance to clear my mind
