Drive

Waja Autobot

This is a classic. I remember driving down the road towards Winslow to see Jonathan Goosey, my coursemate. It was towards the end of summer, sun was still shining bright. Playing on the radio was this song by The Cars called Drive.

It’s a nice and haunting song, made famous a year later when they performed it during the Live Aid concert with images of Ethiopian starving refugees playing in the background.

Then when I watched Transformers, this song was featured again in one of the scenes where Sam Witwicky was trying to get Mikaela Banes into his car (Bumblebee). There is a certain memory attached to this movie. I shall not divulge that information here.

Here it is, people, The Cars with Drive:

Who’s gonna tell you when
It’s too late
Who’s gonna tell you things
Aren’t so great
You can’t go on
Thinking nothing’s wrong
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight

Who’s gonna pick you up
When you fall
Who’s gonna hang it up
When you call
Who’s gonna pay attention
To your dreams
Who’s gonna plug their ears
When you scream

You can’t go on
Thinking nothing’s wrong
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight

Who’s gonna hold you down
When you shake
Who’s gonna come around
When you break

You can’t go on
Thinking nothing’s wrong
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight

No you can’t go on
Thinking nothing’s wrong
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight
