Driving Lesson Lyrics

[Intro]
Car, car, car
Car, car, car

[Verse 1]
Let's get behind the wheel
We'll go driving
To the mountains
To the rooftops

We can take it nice and slow
I'll be driving
To the icebergs
To the edges

[Chorus]
Car, get in the car
Car, get in the car

[Verse 2]
Head in to the clouds
Past the buildings
By the harbour
Through the storm

Tear across the page
By the marker
Leave the light on
By the poolside
[Chorus]
Car, get in the car
Car, get in the car

[Bridge]
I can make an honest man of you
I can make you clean if you want me to
I can make you go very far

[Chorus]
Just take the car
Get in the car
Car, get in the car

[Outro]
Take the car
Get in that car
Take the car
Get in that car
Take the car

[Whispered lyrics]
Gotta feel to make it real
Anytime, anywhere

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
