| Lyrics: | Drivin’ lonely miles Speedin’ through this town tonight Headlights in the rain Tearin’ through the storm outside Aimin’ me to you I can feel you in my arms I can almost taste your kiss Girl your shinin’ bright So I’m gonna follow this road To get to you Put the city in my rear view They’re pointin’ me towards you Burnin’ through the black night Just me and these headlights Ain’t held you for so long So I’m not gonna turn around ‘Til you’re smilin’ right in front of me Dancin’ in the glow Laughin when we hit the ground In these low beams I can feel you in my arms I can almost taste your kiss Can’t fight it anymore So I’m gonna follow this road To get to you This life won’t get the best of me Gonna light the road ahead of me They’re showin’ me the way To a brighter day Put the city in my rear view They’re pointin’ me towards you Burnin’ through the black night Just me and these headlights Solo Chorus |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
