If I Had a License
Driving Through Life's Uncharted Roads
Lyrics

I'd learn how to drive

Take you to the forest

We could live outside

I don't have a gun

Never know the feeling

But they leave you with less than you came with

I found out the hard way
Learning a lesson through difficult experiences.
So what's the point in making music

I'd learn how to drive

Take you to the country

We could live our lives

But I don't have a license
