Drivin' All Night
Drivin' All Night: Love's Journey Through Miles and Memories
Lyrics
Wasn't nothing as pretty in Panama City as you
Expressing admiration for someone in Panama City.
That's what I took away from that spring break that year
Reflecting on a memorable spring break and the beauty of the person.
There wasn't no shortcut down to LSU
No easy route to LSU, suggesting challenges in the journey.
Oh, but it wasn't like it was hard talking me into
Being easily persuaded or convinced to undertake a challenging task.
Drivin' all night, drivin' all night
Emphasizing the act of driving throughout the night.
Drivin' like a bat outta hell
Driving with great speed and intensity.
Cheap motels calling my name
Reference to staying in budget accommodations.
No way I was stopping that Chevy
Determined to continue driving without stopping.
Red Bull keeping my led foot heavy
Using Red Bull to stay awake and maintain a heavy foot on the accelerator.
1, 1:30, 2, 2:30, 3 AM, Steve Earle out Tom Petty back in
Specific time references during the night drive, with a mention of music by Steve Earle and Tom Petty.
Bird dog working hard giving them blue lights away, hey
Indicating evading law enforcement ("blue lights") with the help of a skilled driver (bird dog).
Drivin' all night, drivin' all night
Repeating the theme of driving through the night.
Drivin' all night just to hold you for a day
Driving extensively just to spend a day with the person mentioned.
You're a rum runner kiss that I still get drunk on
Describing the person as an intoxicating experience.
And you're a text, you're a call that falls out of the blue
Unexpected communication from the person.
And you're a snapshot in my head and on my phone
Memories captured in mental and digital images.
And you ain't gotta ask twice, I'm already gone, girl, I'm gone
Readiness to leave immediately for the person.
Drivin' all night, drivin' all night
Reiteration of the intense, fast-paced night drive.
Drivin' like a bat outta hell
Continued description of high-speed driving.
Cheap motels calling my name
Reference to staying in budget accommodations.
No way I was stopping that Chevy
Determined to continue driving without stopping.
Red Bull keeping my led foot heavy
Using Red Bull to stay awake and maintain a heavy foot on the accelerator.
1, 1:30, 2, 2:30, 3 am, Steve Earle out Tom Petty back in
Specific time references during the night drive, with a mention of music by Steve Earle and Tom Petty.
Bird dog working hard giving them blue lights away, hey
Indicating evading law enforcement ("blue lights") with the help of a skilled driver (bird dog).
Drivin' all night, drivin' all night
Repeating the theme of driving through the night.
Drivin' all night just to hold you for a day
Driving extensively just to spend a day with the person mentioned.
Girl, you ain't never too outta the way
Assurance that the person is never too far away.
All you gotta do is say the word and I'll get to you
Expressing a willingness to respond to the person's request.
I'll keep rocking and rolling right on through
Commitment to keep moving forward in life.
1, 1:30, 2, 2:30, 3 AM, Steve Earle out Tom Petty back in
Specific time references during the night drive, with a mention of music by Steve Earle and Tom Petty.
Bird dog working hard giving them blue lights away, hey
Indicating evading law enforcement ("blue lights") with the help of a skilled driver (bird dog).
Drivin' all night, drivin' all night
Repeating the theme of driving through the night.
Drivin' all night just to hold you for a day
Driving extensively just to spend a day with the person mentioned.
You keep me driving all night
Acknowledging that the person is the motivation for the continuous night drive.
There wasn't nothing as pretty in Panama City as you
Reiteration of admiration for someone in Panama City.
And that's what I took away from that spring break that year
Recalling the beauty of the person during a specific spring break.
