You Am I - The Songs They Played As I Drove Away

==================================================



I got from Campbelltown to Yass

On a borrowed tank of gas

And I never missed a pothole on the trail

but what really drove the nails

were the songs they played as I drove away

I wanted rock n roll all night

Or something to make the night seem like it was going to end

That there was something to get to up around the bend

I sure hope you're out drinking with friends

tonight, as I drive away



Tonight the radio jockey he tried to kill me

Every tune was like a dull punch in the rain

Its only 270 miles to my temporary

But oh that guy he's gonna make me pay



After Flame Trees and Khe Sahn

And Solitary Man

A long time listener first time caller just won a thousand plans

Buy some new clothes for the kids

and oh, they're gonna make me pay as I drive away



Tonight the radio jockey he tried to kill me

Every tune was like a dull punch in the rain

Its only 100 miles to my temporary

But oh that fucker's gonna make me pay



I know its late

Is it okay to call and say

You just wont believe the songs they played as I drove away

You just wont believe the songs they played as I drove away

Sure wish I brought a tape tonight as I drove away
