Sunday Drive

They didn't ever say where we were going

We just climbed into the backseat

Eyes wide open to the picture show outside

I guess we really didn't understand it all

Remember looking up at them in the front row

Hands touched together, almost outta 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 keeping?

'Cause we were

Watching the world through an open window

Trees lined up like dominoes

This old car could find its own way home

It's the ordinary things that mean so much

That's where I learned it all, from them

To fight, to love, to laugh again

Man, I thought we were only wasting time

Out on a Sunday drive

The song 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 dominoes

This old car could find its own way home

It's the ordinary things that mean so much

That's where I learned it all, from them

To fight, to love, to laugh again

Man, I thought we were only wasting time

Out on a Sunday drive, oh

I never said where we were going

I just helped them to the back seat

Dad, just 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

About a world that they had always known

And how it's changing

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 dominoes

This old car could find its own way home

It's the ordinary things that mean so much

That's where I learned it all, from them

To fight, to love, to laugh again

Man, I thought 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

Out on a Sunday drive
