Prologue

Not the Beatles song.

Lyrics:
I  like to drive my car at night
get lost in the dark

everything just falls behind
on the way

It's all come and gone

I'll find my way
I'll find my way
I'll find my way

The road goes on and on and on
the headlights show my way

the radios broke but I'll sing
to myself

I'll sing

I'll find my way
I'll find my way
I'll find my way

Drive My Car

Lyrics:
When it rains down on school street in the spring
the house falls quiet
I'm upstairs just planning all my little
run away dreams

And she's on my mind with blue hair and brown roots
showing on through
It's all I can do just to forget maybe I'm just
better off alone

I never knew what was right
to do

That old oak in the front yards swaying side to side
threatening me
I wonder how long after I'm gone
will it stand

The lightning strikes they punctuate the quiet
I wonder how long will the
rain last

When It Rains Down On School Street
