Keep the Drive

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your jacket in the back of my car Said you were headed somewhere, not too far I took the long way past the corner store Bought two cold drinks, though you weren't there anymore [Pre-Chorus] You said the coast was calling your name I laughed like leaving was part of the game But every turn brings me back around To that little place where we came unwound [Chorus] You can keep the sunset, I'll keep the drive Keep your little story, I'll keep mine If you're looking for a reason to stay I'm not gonna make you, anyway You can take the good days, leave the rest I don't need your name across my chest When the morning comes, I'll be just fine You can keep the sunset, I'll keep the drive [Verse 2] Your friends still ask if you might come through I say, "Maybe," like I used to do The diner changed the sign above the door But your old song still plays on the jukebox floor [Pre-Chorus] You said the coast was calling your name I laughed like leaving was part of the game But every turn brings me back around To that little place where we came unwound [Chorus] You can keep the sunset, I'll keep the drive Keep your little story, I'll keep mine If you're looking for a reason to stay I'm not gonna make you, anyway You can take the good days, leave the rest I don't need your name across my chest When the morning comes, I'll be just fine You can keep the sunset, I'll keep the drive [Bridge] Maybe someday we'll laugh about it Two old friends with nothing to prove Till then, I'll take the road that opens And let the miles do what they do [Final Chorus] You can keep the sunset, I'll keep the drive Keep your little story, I'll keep mine If you're looking for a reason to stay I'm not gonna make you, anyway You can take the good days, leave the rest I don't need your name across my chest When the morning comes, I'll be just fine You can keep the sunset, I'll keep the drive [Outro] I'll keep the drive I'll be just fine
