Drive Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Ah, ah
Ah-ah
Flying through the city with the speakers up loud
Speedin’ by with the top down
Fast lane livin’ till they put me in the ground
And I don’t wanna stop now
I’ll be gone with the click of a finger
Say the word, give a call, I’ll be comin’ back around
Flying through the city, I got God on my side
But the real world is not far
Push to the limit, I’ll be burning all night
Gettin’ tailed by a cop car
Pull away, wind blowin’, now I’m cruisin’
Put the past in the past, a new day is comin’
Ha-la-lay-la, we can ride
Four wheels, you and I gotta get out of here
Ha-la-lay-la, my saviour
Ha-la-lay-la, we can fly
Out of this burning fire, just take me anywhere
Ha-la-lay-la, my saviour
Pedal down and drive, drive
Pedal down and drive
Just drive
Out of the city, now we’re switchin’ four lanes
Got our eyes on a fresh start
The world as we knew it, that was caught up in flames
Get ready for the next part
You know I’m good if I’m back in the gutter
‘Cause this life, it was never ’bout the money
Ha-la-lay-la, we can ride
Four wheels, you and I gotta get out of here
Ha-la-lay-la, my saviour
Ha-la-lay-la, we can fly
Out of this burning fire, just take me anywhere
Ha-la-lay-la, my saviour
Pedal down and drive, drive
Drive
Pedal down and drive
Drive
Pedal down and drive
Just drive
Pedal down and drive
Just drive
Pedal down and drive
