Sunday Drive

They didn’t ever say where we going
We just climbed into the backseat
Eyes wide open to the picture show outside
I guess we really didn’t understand at all
I remember looking up at them in the front row
Hands touched together almost out of sight
It’s been a long hard week but now the slow release
Of a Sunday afternoon
And we were only young but they were trying hard to reach us
How was I to know that there was something so worth keepin'?
Cause we were watching the world through an open window
Trees lined up like dominos
This old car could find its own way home
It’s the ordinary things that mean so much
And that’s where I learned it all from them
To fight, to love, to laugh again
Man, I thought that we were only wasting time
Out on a Sunday drive
The sun warms your soul just like an old friend
Singing songs along that ribbon of a road
And everyone you love is sitting there so close
You’re never thinking that you’d ever get old
No you’ll never get old
Just watching the world through an open window
Trees lined up like dominos
This old car could find its own way home
It’s the ordinary things that mean so much
And that’s where I learned it all from them
To fight, to love, to laugh again
And man I thought that we were only wasting time
Out on a Sunday drive
I never said where we were going
I just helped them to the backseat
Dad laughed and said «Son don’t drive too far
Your momma gets pretty tired these days»
After a few miles I guess they recognized some places
And I listened as they reminisced
‘Bout a world that they had always known and how it’s changin'
Probably never gonna be the same again
I caught ‘em in the mirror
They were holding hands and smiling
Looking younger than they’d been in years
Oh through all the years
And they were watching the world through an open window
Trees lined up like dominos
This old car could find its own way home
It’s the ordinary things that mean so much
And that’s where I learned it all from them
To fight, to love, to laugh again
Man, I thought that we were only wasting time
Out on a Sunday drive
Out on a Sunday drive
Out on a Sunday drive
Out on a Sunday drive
