When I Drive Lyrics - Bonnie & Clyde - Original Broadway Cast Recording - Frank Wildhorn

CLYDE: 

Ain't no car too smart for me 

Got the whole thing figured out 

Two-door, hardtop, Model T 

Limousine or runabout 

Put me behind the wheel and stand well back 

Like a crackerjack 

I'll get your heart pumping 

BUCK: 

Ain't no car that you can't drive 

I would bet my life on that 

Hot rod, roadster, pickup truck 

Forty miles in nothing flat 

CLYDE: 

Ain't nothing better than to drive through town 

With the pedal down 

BOTH: 

Watch the old folk jumping 

CLYDE: 

When I drive, when I drive 

I'm in love, I'm alive 

And I forget about everything I hate 

When I drive, when I drive 

I can reach sixty-five 

I won't pay the law no mind 

They'll always be behind 

And man, that just feels great 

BUCK: 

Hey look, there's danger up ahead 

Here comes a curve 

CLYDE: 

Would you stop tugging at my sleeve? 

Just hold your nerve! 

Give me a full tank and an open road 

And watch me explode! 

Hey look at me! 

I'm driving... 

When I drive, when I drive 

I'm in love, I'm alive 

And I forget about everything I hate 

BUCK: 

When you drive, when you drive 

Life just flies when you drive 

BOTH: 

We are the heroes who 

The people look up to 

And brother, that feels great 

I can float (I can float) 

I can fly (I can fly) 

This is how (this is how) 

I wanna live, I wanna die 

I'm in love (I'm in love) 

I'm alive (I'm alive) 

When I drive
