These are the lyrics to a rewrite of Chely Wright's 'Shut Up And Drive'.
This version is by Tom Batchelor.
Shut up and drive.
You don't know what you're talkin' about
I'm not the one,
You oughtta know that by now
Wish I could be true
Hope you know how I've tried
But I know you can see
I'll never be
So shut up and drive.
Don't look in the mirror.
I might have that look in my eyes
I practiced so long
Now I just can't compromise.
I mastered the art
Of lookin' sincere
But when I reached the top
I couldn't stop,
Don't look in the mirror.
And I'm the voice you never listen to
But with what I've done
Why should you listen to me?
And I'm the one who will be missin' you
But I know that you can see
That's how it has to be, so
Turn the radio on.
To drownd out the sound of my cry
Just look away
I know you've still got your pride,
Just get yourself lost
In a sad country song
Those guys that they play
Know just what to say
Turn the radio on.
And I'm the voice you never listen to
But with what I've done
Why should you listen to me?
And I'm the one who will be missin' you
For all eternity,
But that's how it has to be, so
Shut up and drive
Don't look in the mirror
Turn the radio on
Get out of here
I'll never be true
Never could be
So show me your pride
And don't wait for me.
Shut up and drive
