I drove the car

She'd made it plain

That I'd run out of ways

To win her back again



Her seat was back

No seat belt on

And on the radio

Some too familiar song



I thought if I could hurt her

Then she couldn't leave

She'd need someone to nurse her

Someone could be me

Together hell for leather shooting up the midnight motorway

I drove the car that took my love away



I glimpsed her hair

Blown by the wind

And passing headlights

Dance across her perfect skin



I saw the road

Its curves ahead

Then I saw me with flowers

At her hospital bed



I saw the corner nearing

And looked to the sky

I let go of the steering wheel

And closed my eyes



And though it never crossed my mind she might not live to see the day

I drove the car that took my love away



Together hell for leather shooting up the midnight motorway

I drove the car that took my love away
