Talking To The Driver Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All ride, she’s been quiet for the whole time
This ain’t your line of work
But the silence starts to hurt
She said that we’ll be there in no time
Save your singing for the girls
I’ll pick you up tomorrow at the same time
[Chorus]
(What a life)
What a life
Riding in a limousine
Surrounded by these empty seats
Only me talking to the driver
I’m alright
Living in the in-between, in another window seat
Where I’m gonna be talking to the driver
[Verse 2]
She said “I’ll fix you up in no time
Just show me where it hurts”
I said it’d be easier to show you where it doesn’t
Won’t lie, been feeling it since ’09
Broken on the inside
But these stories of mine are a dime for a dozen
[Chorus]
(What a life)
What a life
Riding in a limousine
Surrounded by these empty seats
Only me talking to the driver
I’m alright
Living in the in-between, in another window seat
Where I’m gonna be talking to the driver
[Bridge]
Drive me through the night
Drive me through the day
Drive me through my life
Drive me all the way
Drive me to the show
Drive me to the plane
I see you all time, don’t even know your name
Drive me through the night
Drive me through the day
Drive me through my life
Drive me all the way
Drive me to the show
Drive me to the plane
I see you all time, don’t even know your name
[Chorus]
What a life, riding in a limousine
Just another empty seat
Where I’m gonna be talking to the driver
Yeah, I’m alright
But don’t nobody ride for free
Just another window seat
Where I’m gonna be talking to the driver
