Lyrics
Baby for the life of me I don?t know why you stay. I can?t find a reason in me to make you want to stay. If I were a bigger man, well, wouldn?t that be nice. Baby, that?s impossible, I?m driving black ice. Baby, there?s a part of me that?s ready for some change. I found a spark inside of me willing to do it all again. I want to be your hero tonight more than once or twice. But, baby, that?s impossible when you?re driving black ice. You know, I got a demon in me that I just don?t think I can face. Burning up inside of me, tearing me apart each day. There?s gotta be some promised land, there?s gotta be some price. But salvation is impossible when you?re driving black ice. Tell me what you want from me, because, baby, I don?t have a clue. Tell me what you want me to be, tell me what you want me to do. You know, I would say anything just to make this right. The truth just isn?t possible when you?re driving black ice. In another lifetime, maybe, I could be the man you need. In another frame of mind, it wouldn?t feel so bittersweet. You know I?d do the world for you for one more roll of the dice. So don?t tell me it?s impossible, I?m driving black ice. Baby, for the life of me I swear I put you above. But I guess I don?t understand why it has to hurt to love. We?ve wasted too much precious time on golden words of advice. But, baby, anything is possible when you?re driving black ice. Baby, anything is possible when you?re driving black ice. Don?t tell me it?s impossible, I?m driving black ice.
