Found her walking in the rain
down on fatherland street.
I call her name she stops and she smiles and she turns to me
I say, "Darling where you been?
She says, "You know, Daddy, I've been looking for you."
She pops the rear door open and slides into my rear view.
She puts her arms around me. And I put her into gear.
I say, "Where you want to go?"
She says, "I dont know, I just want to disappear.
Cause I'm tired of walking down the same old streets every night.
I'm tired of the same old faces, the same old sunrise.
And I wonder how my Mama's doing in Memphis
I wonder how my kids are up in Michigan.
So please, Baby, just drive.
Carry me out into the night.
Carry me out into the night.
Cause I need to know, that there is something more to this life.
That there is something more to this moment, than this poor town can provide.
I feel the pressure. I feel it pushing down on me. I feel like I'm about to scream.
I'm feeling low and downright mean.
So please Baby just drive. Please, Baby, just drive."
I wish there was something that I could do.
But Baby you've gone to far to come back home.
And all these years you've been waiting for the world to change,
but unfortunately Anna, unfortunately Anna it's you, who needs to change.
Unfortunately Anna.
Found her walking in the rain down on fatherland street.
I call her name she stops and she smiles and she turns to me.
She turns to me. She turns to me.
