City lights burn through the night And they turn my head around But all the people walking by Are staring at the ground All this chasing my ambition I've forgotten who I am I need a place for contemplation Where I can make another plan So let's drive out in the country Leave the city lights behind Where I can let the North Star be my guide With you right here beside me I could find my way tonight Searching for a darker piece of sky Like a ship upon the ocean By gale and tempest tossed Blown miles away from land and home And given up for lost With just a glimpse of open sky I could plot a different course To sail us back to safety Found on familiar shores So let's drive out in the country Leave the city lights behind Where I can let the North Star be my guide With you right here beside me I could find my way tonight Searching for a darker piece of sky I'm sitting in my car outside The engine's on let's take the ride With you right by my side I could leave it all behind Leave it all behind Tonight Let's drive out in the country We'll leave the city lights behind Where I can let the North Star be my guide With you right here beside me I can find my way tonight Searching for a darker piece of sky Searching for a darker piece of sky
