This boy he's a midnight driver 
High roller and a soul survivor 
She tried to send him on his way 
He say, hey, I wanna stay 
If you don't mind I'm hanging around 
This girl's on the road to nowhere 
She wouldn't say but another day there 
It's not the role she's decided to play 
She say, hey, don't wanna stay 
There's no reason for hanging around 
Take me where I wanna go running 
Where the sea rushes up to the shore 
It's a lonely place but I need the space 
Want to let my feelings soar 
Help me find the key to my prison 
I've waited long enough to be free 
I love you but I'm not really living 
It's now how I want it to be 
Listen, I know what she's like she's just a dreamer 
But I'll win in the end I'm a schemer 
Give her time she'll be on the phone 
She's never gonna make it alone 
Better leave the door on the latch 
She'll soon be hurrying home 
Oh Mother, it looks like I'm in for stormy weather 
So I'd better get my story together 
Got to make it good she's no fool 
I'll take her in my arms, I'll be cool 
Don't want to get her upset 
I wanna make her forget 
Take me where I wanna go running 
Where the sea rushes up to the shore 
It's a lonely place but I need the space 
Want to let my feelings soar 
Help me find the key to my prison 
I've waited long enough to be free 
I love you but I'm not really living 
It's now how I want it to be 
This girl's she's a real survivor 
She don't believe in the midnight driver 
So she's starting a brand new day 
She say, hey, don't wanna play 
It had to stop, so I'm going away 
I'm going away 
I'm going away
