One Last Drive Before Goodbye
Folk ballad with a raw country edge, slow and spacious: a strummed acoustic guitar in cavernous reverb, with a raw, gravelly male voice. Aching and lonely, sung in English, about one last drive together before saying goodbye.

Lyrics
[Verse]
Leave the keys on the dash, let the engine rest.
The sun is dipping low, far off in the west.
We’ve covered every mile this old road had to give.
Now we’re running out of ways for us to live.
[Chorus]
One last drive.
Just to watch the miles go by.
One last drive.
Underneath a heavy sky.
One last drive.
Before the morning finds us cold.
One last drive.
To let the story be told.
[Verse]
Your coffee’s getting thin in that paper cup.
I’m waiting for the nerve just to look you up.
But your eyes are on the fence and the swaying wheat.
And the silence in this cab is bittersweet.
[Chorus]
One last drive.
Just to watch the miles go by.
One last drive.
Underneath a heavy sky.
One last drive.
Before the morning finds us cold.
One last drive.
To let the story be told.
[Bridge]
Pull over where the dirt meets the tall pine trees.
Give the maps and the ghosts back to the breeze.
We don't need to say where it all went wrong.
It’s been a long way home, a long way along.
[Chorus]
One last drive.
Just to watch the miles go by.
One last drive.
Underneath a heavy sky.
One last drive.
Before the morning finds us cold.
One last drive.
To let the story be told.
[Outro]
Turn the lights off.
Close the door.
Don't look back here.
Anymore.
[Outro]
