This boy he's a midnight driver

High roller and a soul survivor

She tried to send him on his way

He say, hey, I wanna stay

If you don't mind I'm hanging around

This girl's on the road to nowhere

She wouldn't say but another day there

It's not the role she's decided to play

She say, hey, don't wanna stay

There's no reason for hanging around

Take me where I wanna go running

Where the sea rushes up to the shore

It's a lonely place but I need the space

Want to let my feelings soar

Help me find the key to my prison

I've waited long enough to be free

I love you but I'm not really living

It's now how I want it to be

Listen, I know what she's like she's just a dreamer

But I'll win in the end I'm a schemer

Give her time she'll be on the phone

She's never gonna make it alone

Better leave the door on the latch

She'll soon be hurrying home

Oh Mother, it looks like I'm in for stormy weather

So I'd better get my story together

Got to make it good she's no fool

I'll take her in my arms, I'll be cool

Don't want to get her upset

I wanna make her forget

Take me where I wanna go running

Where the sea rushes up to the shore

It's a lonely place but I need the space

Want to let my feelings soar

Help me find the key to my prison

I've waited long enough to be free

I love you but I'm not really living

It's now how I want it to be

This girl's she's a real survivor

She don't believe in the midnight driver

So she's starting a brand new day

She say, hey, don't wanna play

It had to stop, so I'm going away

I'm going away

I'm going away
