Slash feat. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators Lyrics

"Driving Rain"

Left her heart in a letter
Said she'd never been better
But now I know
My original sin
She is down once again
No, no

It's been so long
Can't remember the last time, you know
It's been so long
So I'm on my way

I can't see the road through the driving rain
But I won't stop now
Her love is calling me home, seems to guide the way
So I won't stop now

To avoid all confusion
She said she's been using
No, not again
Oh, but my fear of losing
The girl always gets me home
'Cause she knows

It's been so long
Still some things will never change, I know
It's been so long
So I'm on my way

I can't see the road through the driving rain
But I won't stop now
Her love is calling me home, seems to guide the way
So I won't stop now

She's the dark to light
She's never satisfied
She always seems to find a reason to hope
That I'll come back tonight
That I will wanna rise
She pulled my strings yet again
So, here we go

I can't see the road through the driving rain
But I won't stop now
Her love is calling me home, seems to guide the way
So I won't stop now
I can't see the road through the driving rain
But I won't stop now
Her love is calling me home, seems to guide the way
So I won't stop now

And I won't stop now
So I won't stop now

"Driving Rain" is an exclusive one-sided seven-inch single, released on July 25, 2018; it is the first single off "Living The Dream" - Slash's fourth solo album, and third with Slash and Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators.

"This is a riff I specifically remember playing with the guys for the first time at a venue in New Hampshire on the 'World On Fire' tour. It's a cool guitar part we ran though, and from that point forward the rest of the song started to come together in my mind while on the road. We put it all together this year and Myles came up with a great melody for it," said Slash about the song.

Myles Kennedy described the riff as very reminiscent of vintage Aerosmith. "It's got a certain funk to it that's compelling. Lyrically, it's a story about somebody who works on the road – it could be a musician, and it could be a traveling salesman. What makes it interesting is this guy has an addict girlfriend or spouse who continues to relapse, and she ends up getting him to come home. She's miserable and falls back into bad old habits, and that compels him to head back to her to save the day," he said.
