I drove down the street today to buy the Sunday Age
The sun was almost rising, I guess I couldn't sleep
Something inside me spurred me on, the restlessness, a dream gone wrong
The road seemed to be my saviour, and I discovered faith
I drove down the street today, I drove down the street today
The corner shop where we used to meet
The local kids from around the street
Rusted bikes we used to race, now broken, dumped in the yard
I imagine you lying asleep, how many nights I'd watch you dream?
May your dreams be sweet my dear, may angels guide your way
I drove down the street today, I drove down the street today
I drove down the street
Thunder clouds came rolling in
Lightening cracked up ahead
I dreamed of flying above it all
Where the sky would never end
For every road a journey's made
A truth is told, a due is paid
My road took a crooked turn
I swerved on that sunny day
I drove down the street today, I drove down the street today
I drove down the street
