Rolled on out of Motown back in '91
Left them bitter winters for the Florida summer sun
Breakin' hearts in theme parks
Smiled for anyone who held a camera to my face and said "Say cheese!"
Wound up on the telly With a twinkle in my eye
Twinkle disappeared the night I started gettin' high
And everything seemed so absurd
Until the night I finally heard the sound of Coltrane
It brought me to my knees
There's a long drive straight through the night
Starin' out the window Lookin' for the first signs of daylight
Just hold on tight With all of your might
See it takes the time it takes to get it right
So I peddled across the country Wound up here in Hollywood
Left my high school sweetheart when I realized I could
She became a movie star
I've took to sleepin' in my car Still singin' songs about her to this day
Drove myself to New York City Chasin' love again
She moved me to tears and then I wound up movin' in
That Apple got the best of me
So I packed up the rest of me And I grabbed a cab, said "Straight to JFK!"
There's a long drive straight through the night
Starin' out the window Lookin' for the first signs of daylight
Just hold on tight With all of your might
See it takes the time it takes to get it right
Now I'm back in Hollywood This guitar in my hand
These days I'm only using words that I can understand
Singin' songs, I'll carry on
Keep at it until I'm dead and gone Then maybe my gravestone will say
There's a long drive straight through the night
Starin' out the window Lookin' for the first signs of daylight
Just hold on tight With all of your might
See it takes the time it takes to get it right
See it takes the time it takes to get it right (Third time's the charm)
They say it takes the time it takes to get it right
First tab, so feel free to let me know if I made any mistakes!
