David Crosby Drive My Car written by David Crosby
Am
It was one of those nights
C
When you drive right by your own street
D Em7
And you wonder who's running your hands or your feet
Am C
And your car becomes a capsule sometimes you can't hide
D Em7
Last night I needed I needed to drive
Am D Am D Am D
I want to drive my car I really don't care how far I want to roam
Am
alone
Am D Am D Am D
I want to drive my car I really don't care how far I want to roam
Am
alone
Am C
I was not out looking for honey's
D Em7
Oh I noticed them like usual but not as strong
Am C
And the distance between me and my pavement
D Em7
It seemed to be a hundred yards long
Am C
I still feel the wind on my elbow
D Em7
But I'm driving by the seat of my pants
Am C D
I keep trying trying to tune the radio trying to tune me out of my
Em7
trance
Am D Am D Am D
I want to drive my car I really don't care how far I want to roam
Am
alone
Am D Am D Am D
I want to drive my car I really don't care how far I want to roam
Am
alone
Am C
At least a car goes where you steer it
D Em7
Sometimes it's the only things it does
Am C D
So I get in and I drive to hear it and I remember that feeling that
Em7
there was
Am D Am D Am D
I want to drive my car I really don't care how far I want to roam
Am
alone
Am D Am D Am D
I want to drive my car I really don't care how far I want to roam
Am
alone
