Lyrics

Midnight on the corner, I wave my hand
Hop in the back seat, I'm your man
The driver says buckle up, watch the road
He's heard every story that a night can hold

Left at the light
Right at the bridge
Everybody talks
When the meter ticks

Back seat confessions, meter running
Tell the driver everything
Back seat confessions, meter running
He just nods and he sings along
Oh-oh-oh, drive me home
Oh-oh-oh, drive me home

A girl in a dress with her shoes in her hand
A guy with a guitar and a big dumb plan
The driver says kid, I have seen it all
But I still like the ride, so tell me more

Left at the light
Right at the bridge
Everybody talks
When the meter ticks

Back seat confessions, meter running
Tell the driver everything
Back seat confessions, meter running
He just nods and he sings along
Oh-oh-oh, drive me home
Oh-oh-oh, drive me home

Keep the change
Keep the change
Thanks for listening
Keep the change

Back seat confessions, meter running
Tell the driver everything
Back seat confessions, meter running
He just nods and he sings along
Oh-oh-oh, drive me home
Oh-oh-oh, drive me home

Drive me home
Drive me home
Thanks for the ride
