Drive Songtext
von Blind Melon

His feet are dirty
And his face
His face is long

Yeah, and while he′s peeking out through his hair
He hides the pain
'Til that Lennon song comes along
He′ll turn it off and say

"Can you drive?
Drive
Can you drive?
Drive
Can you drive?

Jimi, we need to borrow this for a minute
'Cause we need to escape
Yes, I need to escape

Now, there's so many things that he′s gonna do, yeah
In five lifetimes, hell, I couldn′t do 'em all


Yeah, and while he′s rolling his own smokes
He says to me he's buying a new ride today
A classic deal the boss will give
He said the same thing two weeks ago

You′ve seen that sweaty, jet-rag feeling come over him
And I've seen that boy nod, yeah
Into a dream, a time or two

Yeah, and on his way out, his glazed stare
Will make you stop and wonder
"Hey William, is that the last time I′m gonna look at you?"
Yeah (but the next day, a phone will ring, and it'll be him)

Can you drive?
Drive (can you drive?)
Can you drive?
Can you drive?

Jimi, what would you say?
What would you do?
Oh, should I pray?
Or do you think that this blind mind
Would listen to me anyway?
