Driving Force

There are more different kinds of drives than you might ever guess
There's line drives and there's overdrives, and a hard drive on your desk
But the drive to find a woman is the hardest drive, you'll find
Because she's got some hidden drives of quite another kind

I used to drive a semi, and my life was going well
But then I met a woman who drove it all to hell
She said that she'd loved cowboys since she was only five
To win her heart, I had to make a change in what I drive

CHORUS:

And now I'm out here driving cattle, out in the drivin' rain
Just like I'm in a drive-in movie, or on the drivin' range
She says I'm drivin' her crazy--she drives me wild
My drives will soon be drivin' me right down the wedding aisle


We'll build a life together and have a home that's ours
Out on El Dorado drive, with sidewalks trimmed in flowers
Half a dozen kids will keep us busy all our lives
With their antics and their over-active hyper-drives

I'll have a chain of drive-thru's with driveways painted green
We'll sell the oddest line of goods that you have ever seen
A combination liquor store, and hardware you can trust
With the catchiest of names: ^ÓScrewdrivers Are Us!^Ô

CHORUS:

This story has a moral, as stories often do
Just listen and these words will drive the point right home to you
Marriage is a lover's spaceship, racin' through the skies
Because it gives us license to engage our own warped drives

CHORUS:

Get along, little dogies, let's drive it on home!
