Drive My Car

By David Crosby

It was one of those nights

When you drive

Right by your own street

And you wonder who's running

Your hands and your feet

And your car becomes a capsule

Sometimes you can hide

Last night I just wanted

I wanted to ride

I wanted to drive my car

Didn't really care how far

I wanted to roam, alone

I wanted to drive my car

Didn't really care how far

I wanted to roam, alone.

I was not out looking

For honeys

Oh I noticed them

Like usual but not as strong

And the distance between

Me and my pavement

Seemed to get

A hundred yards long

I still feel the wind

On my elbow

But I'm driving by

The seat of my pant

I keep on tryin'

To tune in tune in

On the radio

Trying to tune me

Out of my trance

I wanted to drive my car

I didn't really care how far

I wanted to roam, alone

I wanted to drive my car

Didn't really care how far

I wanted to roam, alone.

At least a car goes

Where you steer it

Sometimes that's the only

Thing it does

So I get in it

And I drive it

Just to hear it

And remember this

Feeling that there was.

I wanted to drive my car

I didn't really care how far

I wanted to roam, alone

I wanted to drive my car

I didn't really care how far

I wanted to roam, alone.
