Driving in the Rain Lyrics

For so long I've been riding on a breeze
Whispering with ease
Just doing as I please
But now it's all changed
Remembering the game
Of driving in the rain

When I was young
Responsibilities were none
When I did wrong it was fun
And there was no work to be done
But now all has changed
Remembering the pain
Of driving in the rain

I saw people smiling
Happiness was guaranteed
But now there's so many crying
And that's all my eyes can see

But now all has changed
Remembering thе shame
Of driving in the rain

I saw peoplе smiling
Happiness was guaranteed
Now there's so many crying
And that's all my eyes can see
And the days scurry by so fast
I finally see myself and laugh
Noticing the change
Of driving in the rain

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 [?]
