Drive All Night

Got a pre-war hotrodded Super Estelle
She been fitted with the four wheel drive
And she flies like a rocket if the octane’s hot
And the time and the lights are right
Well we took the old road from Rostock
In the moonshine clear and bright
Where you can make180 on the straight
When the radar’s off for the night
The Northbound carriageway’s covered in cars
There’s a couple of bridges down
But you figure out the sliproads soon enough
When you know your way around
Drive all night, drive all day
Trying to drive my worries away
We crossed the border 'bout a quarter to four
As my brain began to ache
With the checkpoints empty and the turnpike clear
As the day began to break
Well we had a few packs of vaccine
And a crateful of Duracell Two’s
So we tanked her up and took a couple of cans
At a backstreet depot in Bruges
We ran into a lone control point
And it could have been the end of the line
But they recognized Eddie and they waved us on
And they took apart the car behind
Drive all night, drive all day
Trying to drive my worries away
There were gasoline robbers at Salzburg
And we only had a couple of rounds
It was touch and go for an hour or so
But we shook 'em with our foot right down
Drive all night, drive all day
Trying to drive my worries away
