	Story Behind the Song This song is a good example of not forcing yourself into a particular place. When I started the song, I was thinking in terms of how time gets away from us, and the next thing we know, we're 80 or 85 years old and are left wondering what happened. I first thought the song was going to be a somber, yet reminiscent walk through a person's life, but then it hit me that I would probably be told by this same person to "put it in drive" and make your life count for something. I felt a reassurance that it's okay to make mistakes in life so long as we're trying to get somewhere. The idea here is... let's actually get somewhere! Lyrics Forty-five, fifty, fifty-five, sixty Well I'm getting there pretty fast Sixty-five, seventy, seventy-five Yeah eighty was such a blast I'm getting real close now to eighty-five If you want to go somewhere in life you've gotta put it in drive When I was a baby my daddy told me maybe I could grow up to be like him But when I was 10, I took a look at him then and I knew that it would be a sin He's got a lack of ambition in those foggy eyes If you want to be something in life you've gotta put it in drive Put it in drive Well I'm taking it all the way My pedal's to the metal That's the only way I know how to play I'm gonna move on down this road I'm gonna put it in drive Oh early Sunday morning, didn't even get a warning, just a "BLAP" and my door fell in Well they caught me in my "skivy's", got a rash of "hibby jibby's" Thought my world was just crashing in Found a new appreciation for the meaning of life Yeah, when it's all said and done, there son, you've gotta put it in drive (CHORUS & INSTRUMENTAL) Take the power from people, like a church and no steeple You'll be heading for nowhere fast But if you give'em some room, and load them up with some ZOOM And they'll move to the head of the class It's a part of the plan, it's the way to arrive It's the way to get the most out of life, you've gotta put it in drive (CHORUS) Gonna put it in drive You've got to put it in drive Come on let's put it in drive I'm gonna put it in drive
