Lyrics
HEY HEY DRIVER - Copyright 2000 David Walburn
We'll I'm just standing on the side of the road
Holding a sign saying Mexico
'Cause all my troubles got bigger than this town
Now I'm thumbing that first diesel down - and I'll say
Hey Hey Driver just keep on driving
Troubles left behind don't matter
Anywhere you're going's good for me
Hey Hey Driver just keep on driving
I'm so happy to be riding
As long as wheels are spinning I am free
Ain't no need for rearview mirrors there ain't nothing there
If there is, well ask me if I care
So don't hesitate, don't use those brakes
I am off to meet my fate
Somewhere down this road it waits for me, and I say
Hey Hey Driver just keep on driving
Troubles left behind don't matter
Anywhere you're going is good for me
Thank you sir, I do appreciate the ride
Why am I leaving town? - I'll tell you why
When all my sorrow gets bigger than this heart
I know it's time to m ake a brand new start
Hey Hey Driver just keep on driving
Troubles left behind don't matter
Anywhere you're going is good for me
Hey Hey Driver just keep on driving
I'm so happy to be riding
As long as wheels are spinning I am free
I don't need nobody's pity, I'll be doing fine
Soon as I am halfway down the line
So don't hesitate, don't use those brakes
I am off to meet my fate
Somewhere down this road it waits for me and I say
Hey Hey Driver just keep on driving
Troubles left behind don't matter
Anywhere you're going is good for me
