Story Behind The Song
You know when you're driving at night on a highway that was constructed with blocks of cement that are the same size, so that when your tires hit each section, it creates a rhythm - a sound, a dip, all in equal time? That's where this song came from - the mantra of the tires hitting the road gave me an acute awareness of being alive.
Song Description
The concept being out on the road has always made for an easy comparison to the road of life. But the actual act of driving, in a car, alone, quiet, with only the hypnotic sound of the rhythm of the tires hitting each evenly measured-out section of the h

Lyrics
"Drive"
Just drive, just drive. Don?t worry.
The center line becoming blurry.
Just drive, just drive. Don?t worry.
The center line.
Just stay alive
Long enough to feel the wind pound
pounding at you.
Just stay alive long enough to
Feel the wind pound.
Huff, puff and blow your house.
(Chorus)
The pressure?s building up again
There?s voices in the wind
Driving these demons away.
With four wheels on the ground again,
My will can make them spin
Like all of those times that I?ve prayed
While driving just to stay alive?I?m alive. So alive.
Just breath, just breath ?
In, out, again repeat
Though it?s not easy.
Just breath, just breath ?
In, out again repeat
Huff, puff and blow your house down.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge: voices spinning around)
All these thoughts just keep pouring around my head
Can?t seem to figure out what order to put them in
What you believe, how you should react
ust kind of keep spinning around?spinning around?.
Just gotta drive, and feel the rhythm of the road.
Am alive? Yes I?m alive!
