I need to get away from here
I need to collect my thoughts
The night is where I can be open
Where others come to discuss their problems
The songs on the radio play
They’re always at their best at night
During the day these streets are packed
Now freedom roams this late at night
Sometimes home is quiet and serviceable
Other times uncomfortable leading me here
Whether for adventure or soul searching
My answers are found here with my car
Once in a while I’m not alone in my drives
A guest or two may be accompanying me
But in the dark they sleep against the window
They have no concerns like I to think about
From family, to work, to friends, and life
My mind and car races into the unknown to solve
And so I return alone to these streets to ponder
As the street lights zoom past us going the other way
Windows down as the weather is cool and pleasant
The music perfectly capturing my mood in the moment
Lots to explore tonight with my best friend Shelby
I join the others here to drive this long, midnite drive. . .
