    Story Behind the Song
    This song was motivated by my own dissappointment in my material impulses, and the desire to live for something bigger. Drive was pieced together over several years and it is one of our oldest songs, even though it wasn't finished in time for the first album.

    Lyrics
    Drive

    [Tune down 1 full step E = D]
    [Intro... Em, Bm, Em, D, C, Am, G, D]

    TAB (E-B-G-D-A-E)...

    D(sus4-2) = 0-3-0-4-5-x
    A* = 10-8-7-0-x-x
    C* = 8-6-5-0-x-x
    D* = 5-3-2-0-x-x

    Em Bm Em
    Bought this Olds convertible
    D
    To take me far from there
    C Am G Em
    I felt the wind race by my ear and whisper
    Bm Em
    Dirty streets and paths were chosen
    D C Am G
    Driven hopeless, as I walked I felt the
    D
    world race by my ear and whisper

    [chorus intro cords...F, C, F, C]
    F C Am Dsus4-2
    The slaves to gold are all that hold the world
    F C
    That won't release me
    F C F C Am Dsus4-2
    Drive away; drive away

    In my Olds convertible
    The scene flows over me
    Like a blanket of fresh snow
    It covers with a whisper
    Bought this Olds convertible
    To take me far from there
    I felt the wind race by my ear and whisper

    The slaves to gold are all that hold the world
    That won't release me
    Drive away; drive away

    [bridge intro chords...A*, C*, A*, D*]
    A* C* A*
    She stood too tall for herself amid the field of vast wheat
    D* A*
    Which knelt down the loaming sky that fed her wilder motive
    C* A* D*
    That old farmhouse, over there, is where she first caught me
    A* C*
    Looking between the rungs of the porch
    A* D*
    With eyes so close, out with me even
    [F, C, F, C...]
    The slaves to gold are all that hold the world
    That won't release me
    Drive away; drive away
