Nightdrive Lyrics by The Walkabouts

Setting the Woods on Fire

0

Check the main road one more time
Check the main road but I'm sure that you will find

It is late and closin' down
There are lights out there but they do not seem close

Take these long knives for the ride
One for every day we missed
Cut it deep, then cut it wide
'Til the blood runs clear
On the night drive

Lizards blinded by the center line
Lava black, let mystery take its own sweet time

Grab the antenna and hold it tight
Turn it 'round til you find somethin' we can sing

Take these long knives for the ride
One for every day we missed
Cut it deep, then cut it wide
'Til the blood runs clear
On the night drive.X2

If we don't move, then we can never scar
If we don't regret, it means we never pushed this far
Cut it deep, then cut it wide
'Til the blood runs clear
On the night drive....
