Drive Him Home

We were strangers side by side
My car was big and I knew he needed a ride
A man of two truths trained to shout
So I fell in love with him on both sides of his mouth
And I said

Amen, amen, amen, amen

Something told me not to run
Said I'd be the one, I'd be the one, I'd be the one
I'd be the one to drive him home

He feared he'd fall
Didn't know
Said I was everything that he'd been dreaming of
He crawled inside me to my core
And pointed north to stars I'd never seen before
And I said

Amen, amen, amen, amen

Something told me not to run
Said I'd be the one, I'd be the one, I'd be the one
To touch him like he was my own
And I'd drive him home, I'd drive him home, I'd drive him home

I'd be the one to drive him

I don't want to have him just to hold
I want a ring of fire, he's got a ring of gold
But he don't want to have me just to hold
He wants a ring of fire, I want his word of gold

And I won't mind laying with fire
When we're running up and up we can unfold

I would ride with him all life long
I wouldn't share him for a story or a song
His eyes pled, "don't leave"
But I knew best
Even though it burns like battery acid in my chest

Something told me I should run
Said I'd be the one, I'd be the one, I'd be the one
To love him more than my need to own
And I'd drive him home, I'd drive him home, I'd drive him home

I won't be raining like a stone
No they won't know I drove him home, I drove him home
But if someday my bird is flown
If my light's still on, my window's drawn and I'm alone

I'll be the one
I'll be the one
I'll be the one
To drive him home
