Early Morning Drive

Just as the sun starts to rise
I get in my car and drive
To where I do not know
All I need is to go

I follow the highway far west
My emotions spiraling I confess
Faster I begin to drive
I start to come alive

I'm searching for something rare
I don't know what and I don't care
Panic strikes me fast
I contemplate a crash

I'm sick of here and there
Will I ever fit in anywhere
Oh home so long
Im off to a place I belong

I'm still on the open road
Bags filled with my emotional load
Coming up to a motel
What a journey to tell

I'll stop and take a rest
Still convincing this is best
No time for regret
A new future set

The next day I begin again
It's a little early for that gin
What the heck it's only a sip
Emptying the bottle on the strip

Back inside the car I'm in overdrive
Just want to feel alive
I start pushing ninety nine
Slowing down to avoid doing time

That adrenaline rush
Resembles lust
I'm on my way
I'll see you at the bay

If I never return
Forget your concern
I'm finally free
I drove until I found me
