Found her walking in the rain
Down on Fatherland Street
I call her name she stops
And she smiles and she turns to me
I say: Darling where you been?
She says
You know, daddy, I've been looking for you
She pops the rear door open
And slides into my rear view
She puts her arms around me
And I put her into gear
I say: Where you want to go?
She says: I don't know, just anywhere but here
'Cause I'm tired of walking down
The same old streets every night
I'm tired of the same old faces, the same old sunrise
And I wonder how my Mama's doing in Memphis
I wonder how my kids are up in Michigan
So please, baby, just drive
Carry me out into the night
Carry me out into the night
'Cause I need to know
That there is something more to this life
That there is something more to this moment
Than this poor town can provide
I feel the pressure
I feel it pushing down on me
I feel like I'm about to scream
I'm feeling low and downright mean
So please, baby just drive
Please, baby, just drive
I wish there was something that I could do
But baby, you've gone too far to come back home
And all these years you've been waiting
For the world to change
But unfortunately, Anna
Unfortunately, Anna
It's you, who needs to change
Unfortunately, Anna
Found her walking
In the rain down on Fatherland Street
I call her name and she stops
And she smiles and she turns to me
She turns to me
She turns to me
