Drive My Poppa Home Tonight

Lyrics

It was a different time a far away place life was moving at a different pace. When I was a boy my Pop would stop off at the bar grab a few drinks while I waited in the car Wasn't thinking about wrong thinking about right just doing my homework by a red neon light Trying to stay awake in the shadows, out of sight and be ready to drive my Poppa home tonight There was nothing much to do but watch them come and watch them go, I could hear my Poppa laugh when they opened up the door nice men wild men. some scared me half to death, and hot to kiss you women with whiskey on their breath Wasn't thinking about wrong thinking about right just doing my homework by a red neon light Trying to stay awake in the shadows, out of sight and be ready to drive my Poppa home tonight We did a lot of things then you couldn't do today (home tonight) But I know my Poppa loved me in his own way My Poppa lived a lot but he didn't live long, I gave a speech and sang his favorite song, and if he ever calls me in the middle of the night I'm ready still ready to drive you home tonight still ready still ready still ready
