Long Drives

I built a room for you
In the back of my mind
Where the ravenous wolves
And the ghosts I know reside
You were amazing
You were always on my mind
We were secrets to keep
And crows buried side by side
But we tasted a kiss
That was sent from below
It was cool in the night
I was old as a stone
In the back of a car
With a child at heart
Who suddenly showed your their teeth
And you said I'm alright
Baby I don't mind
I'll get on just fine
On them long long drives
I keep the letter you wrote
Before the devil came into the picture
Says I got you now
Wrapped around my finger
And into the mystic
We were blue and outrageous
And every night
I would race the moon and fall for you
But you ache for drug that will never be enough
You're never gonna feel like when it first picked you up
When they drove you around
Gave you poweder and flowers
Until the thrill was gone
But said I'm alright
Baby I don't mind
I'll get on just fine
On them long long drives
Last night I remember being seventeen
I met a girl with a taste for the world
And whisky and rights of spring
Spent every night with cassettes that she liked
In a car that I borrowed a lot
I could never get her to believe
But you said I'm alright
Baby I don't mind
I'll get on just fine
On them long long drives
Because I'm alright
Baby I don't mind
I'll get on just fine
On them long long drives
Without you
Without you
Without you
Drives without you
