DRIVE ALL NIGHT^©

Album version

When I lost you honey sometimes, I think I lost my guts too
And I wish God would send me a word, send me something I'm afraid to lose
Lying in the heat of the night like prisoners all our lives
I get shivers down my spine girl and all I wanna do is hold you tight

Baby baby baby I swear I'll drive all night again just to buy you some shoes
And to taste your tender charms
And I just wanna sleep tonight again in your arms
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Tonight there's fallen angels and they're waiting for us down in the street
And tonight there's calling strangers, hear them crying in defeat
Let them go, let them go, let them go, do their dances of the dead
Let 'em go right ahead girl
You just dry your eyes girl, and c'mon c'mon c'mon let's go to bed

Baby baby baby I swear I'll drive all night again just to buy you some shoes
And to taste your tender charms
And I just wanna sleep tonight again in your arms
Oh yeah, oh yeah

My love, my love, my love

There's machines and there's fire baby waiting on the edge of town
Out there for hire but baby they can't hurt us now
Cause you've got, you've got, you've got my, my love girl, you've got my love girl
Through the wind, through the rain, the snow, the wind, the rain
You've got, you've got my, my love
Oh girl you've got my love
You've got, you've got my, my love
Oh girl you've got my love
You've got, you've got my, my love
Oh girl you've got my love
You've got, you've got my, my love
Oh girl you've got my love
Heart and soul, heart and soul
Heart and soul, heart
Take it easy baby
Don't worry darling
Cause you don't have to
Don't cry now
(Baby)
Baby don't cry now
(Don't cry now)
No don't cry now
(Don't cry now)
No don't cry now
(Don't cry now)
Just dry your eyes baby
(Don't cry now)
Dry your eyes
(Don't cry now)
Cause baby I'll drive all night
(Don't cry now)
I swear I'll drive all night
(Don't cry now)
Through the wind, through the rain, through the snow, through the rain,
Through the wind, through the snow, through the rain
(Don't cry now)
I swear I'll drive all night
(Don't cry now)
I swear I'll drive all night
(Don't cry now)
Through the wind, through the rain, through the snow, through the rain
Through the wind, through the rain, through the snow

Published on The River and played only during that tour. The song is an evolution of the SAD EYES interlude at the end of BACKSTREETS. It was first written for Darkness On The Edge Of Town, but the length of this track is much more suited to a double album such as The River, and there was no room for straight "love songs" on Darkness On The Edge Of Town, that's why it was left out. The song was first recorded in Jun 1977 but was likely remixed and finished during The River sessions.

These lyrics refer to The River album's version. Check also outtake version 1, outtake version 2, outtake version 3, and the harmonies version.

Along with CADILLAC RANCH, was covered by Graziano Romani on a his 13 Apr 2002 show. This benefit show was later officially released: Graziano Romani, ADMO Benefit 13.4.2002.
