Verse 1

I’ve dri­ven down high­ways
I’ve dri­ven down roads
I’ve dri­ven to places that every­body knows
But where no­body goes

I’ve dri­ven in the ice
I’ve dri­ven in the snow
I’ve dri­ven in the rain
When peo­ple hid in their homes
When peo­ple locked out the cold

Cho­rus

And I’m dri­ven away
Dri­ven, far­ther and far­ther away

Verse 2

Where the straight lanes blend with the lines of the hori­zon
And a bent brim cap keeps the sun out my eyes
Even thought I keep head­ing its way
Stuck chas­ing an­other day

Dredge the long black rivers with the gilded signs
With the lily pad gas sta­tions every hun­dred miles
Re­ly­ing on a rusty frame
De­pend­ing on a dying trade

Cho­rus

That’s dri­ven to change
Dri­ven, fur­ther and fur­ther away

Verse 3

I’ve seen moun­tains that smoke where there is no fire
I’ve seen the hills of Cal­i­for­nia burn,
I’ve seen the Col­orado run dry
But even the mighty C&O rail­road must die.
I’ve seen the peaks that changed lives be­fore my time
I’ve seen the canyon that split my fa­ther’s heart be­fore mine
Oh, those were the times.

Pic­tures stand silent for a thou­sand words
When pic­tures write a gen­er­a­tion’s curse
With one sim­ple phrase:
“Things didn’t used to be this way”

Cho­rus

They were dri­ven to change.
And we’re paving the way.

Verse 4

Be­tween the Hard Rains and New Or­leans
We can hope we can pray this is just Dylan’s dream
But I’m afraid, babe, it’s the real thing.
So I’ve put to sleep all my hounds of greed
I’ve taken a look around, this world has taken me
I’m only tak­ing what I need
Won’t you try to take this se­ri­ously

Cho­rus & Tag

We’re dri­ven to change
And me and you, we are paving the way
As we fly as we drive fur­ther away
Re­mem­ber, we are the change that we make
Drive, strive, fight for your change.
Drive, strive, fight for your change.
