Drive All Night - Tom Robinson

Got a pre-war hotrodded Super Estelle

She been fitted with the four wheel drive

And she flies like a rocket if the octane’s hot

And the time and the lights are right

Well we took the old road from Rostock

In the moonshine clear and bright

Where you can make180 on the straight

When the radar’s off for the night

The Northbound carriageway’s covered in cars

There’s a couple of bridges down

But you figure out the sliproads soon enough

When you know your way around

Drive all night, drive all day

Trying to drive my worries away

We crossed the border 'bout a quarter to four

As my brain began to ache

With the checkpoints empty and the turnpike clear

As the day began to break

Well we had a few packs of vaccine

And a crateful of Duracell Two’s

So we tanked her up and took a couple of cans

At a backstreet depot in Bruges

We ran into a lone control point

And it could have been the end of the line

But they recognized Eddie and they waved us on

And they took apart the car behind

Drive all night, drive all day

Trying to drive my worries away

There were gasoline robbers at Salzburg

And we only had a couple of rounds

It was touch and go for an hour or so

But we shook 'em with our foot right down

Drive all night, drive all day

Trying to drive my worries away
