Tom Petty - Night Driver Lyrics

Tom Petty Lyrics

"Night Driver"

There's a shadow on the moon tonight
I swear I see your face up there with the satellites
Looking down from outer space
Me, I'm drifting home again
Headlights in my eyes
Fighting sleep with windows down
Worn-out from long goodbyes

Night driver drifting home again
Night driver drifting home again

You offered up no history
When you blew into town
You remain a mystery
No information found
I speed dial the judgment call
The near miss hits the ground
The new king hides behind the throne
Refusing to be crowned

Night driver drifting home again
Night driver drifting home again

High tide rumbles, PCH
My tires losing tread
Helicopter circling, white beam overhead
Now I sit and count the days and try to fill my time
There's a shadow on the moon tonight
The dollar gets a dime

Night driver drifting home again
Night driver drifting home again
Home again
