Driving My Love Away

Rewrite of Eddie Rabbitt's Drivin' My Life Away

 

Well, for just a moment

I was caught

Echanted by your midnight headlight

Fell for you hard

On a rainy night

Knew it would be a long haul ahead

Thought if we went slow

Took our time

Our love forever would keep growin'

 

But those windshield wipers

Started slappin' out too fast a tempo

And farther and farther

Miles away you begin to creep

Throwin' off our perfect ryhthm

Mishead our love song on the radio

And that's when I knew

Slowly but surely

On me

You were rollin'

 

OOh, you're drivin' my love away

Throwin' the best of us away

Every chance you get

You're betrayin' me

Turnin' dark my sunny day

 

Well, I know all about that truck stop cutie

Yeah, she spilled all to me

How she talked you into

A little cheat and ride

And now it seems you're not even sorry

You rode away from our future

Oh baby

 

Honey, I'm no empty brain waitress

I'm here for me

Not to serve you

Another cup of coffee

So don't expect me to stay around

When it comes to your mistake

You won't man up

So this time I'll be the one

Shootin' out

Flyin' down the highway

Lookin' for a love with a deeper meaning

 

Chorus

 

Well, for just a moment

I was caught

Enchanted by your midnight headlight

Fell for you hard

On a rainy night

Knew it would be a long haul ahead

Thought if we took our time

Our love forever would keep growing

 

But those windshield wipers

Started slappin' out too fast a tempo

And farther and farther

Miles away you begin to creep

Throwin' off our perfect rhythm

Misheard our love song on the radio

And that's when I knew

Slowly but surely

On me

You were rollin'

 

Ooh, you're drivin' my love away

Throwin' all our best away

Every chance you get

Betraying me

Ooh, you're drivin' my love away

Turnin' dark my sunny day

 

Ooh, you're drivin' my love away

Throwin' all our best away

Every chance you get

Betraying me

Ooh, you're drivin' my love away

Turnin' dark my sunny day

 

Ooh, you're drivin' my love away

Throwin' all our best away

Betraying me

Every chance you get
