Lyrics
Mm.
Mm.
Mm.

Once up on
an oth er time,
some bod y’s hands
who felt like mine
turned the key
and took a drive,
was free.
High way curved,
the sun sank low.
Buck ley on
the ra di o.
The cig a rette
was burn ing slow.
So breathe.
Just yel low lines
and tire marks,
and sun kissed skin
and han dle bars.
And where I stood
was where I was
to be.
No en e mies
to call my own.
No porch light on
to pull me home.
And where I was
is beau ti ful
be cause
I was
free.
Mm.
(D5)Once up on
an oth er time
be fore I knew which life was mine,
be fore I left the child be hind
me,
I (D5)saw my self in sum mer nights,
and (Bm)stars lit up like can dle light.

and (Bm)tire marks,
(Em)sun kissed skin and (A)han dle bars.
And (D)where I stood was (Bm)where I was

So (D)I would just, I’d (Bm)keep on driv ing be (Em)cause
