Go Outside And Drive Lyrics - Save His Soul - Blues Traveler

I've really got to clean up my room 

You know it's been so long since I've seen my floor 

It's getting kind of scary in fact I suspect 

That when I finally clear away I won't know her anymore 

How we'll have grown so far apart 

From those early days with a fresh new start 

So in the end it won't matter at all 

So why should I bother with the rise and the fall? 

So I quietly lay back down and watch TV 

But these are the things we tell ourselves 

Oh, eventual stories designed to amuse 

It's a game we play and we play it well 

In fact we're so damn good that we try to lose 

So we can keep hiding 

So we can survive 

And keep on believing 

Someday we'll go outside and drive 

Gonna go outside and drive 

I have resolved not to leave my house 

Till my floor comes back and my room is clean 

So I'm really kind of glad that my TV's here 

While I concoct my plan to fulfill my dream 

Now won't that be wonderful when I'll finally be done 

I just can't wait for it then I'll start to have fun 

It's getting hard lately to concentrate 

All my appointments canceled 'cause I'm horribly late 

You know I think I need a prison, in order to dream of being free 

But these are things we tell ourselves 

Oh, eventual stories designed to amuse 

It's a game we play and we play it well 

In fact we're so damn good that we try to lose 

So we can keep hiding 

So we can survive 

And keep on believing 

Someday we'll go outside and drive 

Now weeks have gone by and my room's not done 

In fact I could say that it's gotten much worse 

Old Chinese food and ravioli cans 

Amongst the crumpled letters the mood's quite perverse 

But I got a new TV with a remote control 

Styrofoam and instructions fill that hole 

Where I once cleared a path where I once blazed a trail 

To the bathroom, but I fear that a nail 

Is buried there now and I step very rarely 

Try not to get out of bed 

You know tomorrow I'll get up and I'll walk out my door 

And life will return to the way that it was 

But I think I'm getting sick I'd better give it a day 

It must not get a foothold, but it usually does 

So I'll sit right here till I'm old and gray 

I need my rest after all I'm wasting away 

And I just saw a cockroach crawl out of my sneaker 

I think he's biding his time till I get somewhat weaker 

Things could still work out for me as long as I'm not dead 

As long as I'm not, as long as I'm, I'm not dead, I'm, I'm not 

I'm not dead, no I'm not dead, no I'm, I'm not dead, I'm not dead 

But these are the things we tell ourselves 

Oh, eventual stories designed to amuse 

It's a game we play and we play it well 

In fact we're so damn good that we try to lose 

So we can keep hiding 

So we can survive 

And keep on believing 

Someday we'll go outside and drive 

We're gonna go outside and drive 

I'm still alive, yeah 

Is it raining or is it sunny? 

I wonder if it's light outside 

What's it like outside? 

Is it sunny or is it rainy? 

I wonder if it's raining
