City Drive

(Verse 1) Headlights paint the pavement, as the city starts to wake, A homeless man on the corner, with a sign he holds, for goodness' sake. The neon glow of a diner, where the waitress there wears a smile, When you open your eyes, every face tells a story, even just for a while. (Pre-Chorus) With Windows down and the radio up, you feel free and alive, Underneath these city stars, out on a midnight drive. From the pavement to the skyline, there's magic in the air, Every corner holds a story, every heartbeat a prayer. (Chorus) On this city drive, watch the world turn, Just passing through, with time to burn, Everyone’s chasing dreams, No matter what it seems, Some just getting by, while others thrive With every turn this city comes alive (Verse 2) A couple on a stoop, sharing secrets 'neath the moon, A street musician with a guitar, playing tunes to make her swoon. With windows down you hear children laughing in a park, Like we used to till street lights came on at dark (Chorus) On this city drive, watch the world turn, Just passing through, with time to burn, Everyone’s chasing dreams, No matter what it seems, Some just getting by, while others thrive With every turn this city comes alive (Bridge) Through the twists and turns, we find our way, In this urban jungle, where people swing and sway. To our heartbeat's a rhythm, each and every day This city’s alive, from the babys to the grey (Guitar Solo, country blues, 8 bars) (Pre-Chorus, acapella with drums) With Windows down and the radio up, you feel free and alive, Underneath these city stars, out on a midnight drive. From the pavement to the skyline, there's magic in the air, Every corner holds a story, every heartbeat a prayer. (Chorus) On this city drive, watch the world turn, Just passing through, with time to burn, Everyone’s chasing dreams, No matter what it seems, Some just getting by, while others thrive With every turn this city comes alive (Pre-Chorus, sang by choir) With Windows down and the radio up, you feel free and alive, Underneath these city stars, out on a midnight drive. From the pavement to the skyline, there's magic in the air, Every corner holds a story, every heartbeat a prayer. (Chorus) On this city drive, watch the world turn, Just passing through, with time to burn, Everyone’s chasing dreams, No matter what it seems, Some just getting by, while others thrive With every turn this city comes alive (Chorus) On this city drive, watch the world turn, Just passing through, with time to burn, Everyone’s chasing dreams, No matter what it seems, Some just getting by, while others thrive With every turn this city comes alive (Guitar solo, Outro adlibs) Woah oh, On this city drive Yeah, We come alive Welcome to the world right before your eyes
