The Songs They Played as I Drove Away Songtext
von Tim Rogers & The Twin Set

I got from Campbelltown to Yass
On a borrowed tank of gas
And I never missed a pothole on the trail
But what really drove the nails
Were the songs that they played as I drove away
I wanted Rock n Roll All Night
Or something to make the night seem
Like it was going to end
There was something to get to up around the bend
I sure hope you′re out drinkin' with friends
Tonight, oh as I drive away


Tonight a radio jockey tried to kill me
Every tune was like a dull punch in the rain
Its only two seventy miles to my temporary
But oh that guy he′s gonna make me pay

After Flame Trees and Khe Sahn
And Solitary Man
A long time listener first time caller just won a thousand clams
Buy some new clothes for the kids
Oh, they're gonna make me pay as I drive away

Tonight a radio jockey tried to kill me
Every tune was like a dull punch in the rain
Its only a hundred miles to my temporary
But oh that fucker's gonna make me pay

I know its late
Is it okay to call and say
You just wont believe the songs they played as I drove away
You just wont believe the songs they played as I drove away
Sure wish I brought a tape tonight as I drove away
