Fuel Up

Curled up in the back of the car 
  Nine years old you don't know where you are 
  And your head's on the window, your eyes are just closed 
  There's a voice in the front and a hush on the road 
  You're a passenger but your mind is travelling on. 

  Open your eyes and you're nine years older 
  Hands on the wheel and you're racing on over 
  To lie with your first love, you can't wait to see her 
  You borrowed the car and you think you're the driver 
  But now you're the passenger to your own heart 
  and it takes you travelling, travelling on. 

  When the morning broke and the sky fell down 
  It went black as night and the wind blew round 
  And stole your directions, you lost your way home 
  And you felt like a passenger left by the road 
  But I'll tell you the reason you couldn't get home 
  Cause there's nowhere you've been and it's nowhere you're going 
  Home is only a feeling you get in your mind 
  From the people you love and you travel beside 
  You may feel like a passenger but now you're the driver 
  You've got to go travelling, travelling on 
  Because if you break down, it's a cold, hard shoulder 

  So fuel up your mind and fire up your heart and drive on 
  Drive on, drive on 
  And when your days are darker, put your foot down harder 
  Drive on, drive on. 

  And it's nine more years you've been driving now 
  But tonight you're stumbling through your old town 
  You met up with a schoolfriend who's still just the same 
  And you talked all the same shit you talked in those days 
  And now you're drunk and you're sad for the old times passing you by 
  For there's no rewind so you might as well play while your time is rolling away 
  And get back on the road, it's a beautiful day 
  Pick up all the friends you can find on your way 
  And if you lose direction they'll be there guiding you on 
  Guiding you, guiding you on. 
  Because we're all going the same way down this long road 
  Yes, we're all bound the same way down this long, long road. 

  So fuel up your mind and fire up your heart and drive on 
  Drive on, drive on 
  And when your days are darker, put your foot down harder 
  Drive on 
  Fuel up, and drive on 
  Fuel up, and drive on 
  Drive on.
