Awe-Inspiring August - 2018 Song Lyric Sunday

Today's prompt from Helen is "drive."

The first thing that I thought of was the Beatles and "Baby You Can Drive My Car" but I wanted to look for something a little different.  Then I remembered Bon Jovi's song from his latest album, "This House Is Not For Sale."  The song was a bonus track on certain CDs so maybe not everyone has heard it yet.

It's called "I Will Drive You Home."

"I Will Drive You Home"

Here comes the next big thing
There's a new gun in town
There'll be a faster one
Before the sun goes down
They've come to kick the tires
They'd like to take a spin
See how it takes the turns
See if it breaks or bends

But I will drive you home
I want you to know that
I will drive you home

Hell, it ain't nothing new
Everything new gets old
Maybe some glitter's gone
But we're still good as gold
When some driver comes
And tries to jump the start
Thinks he can steal your love
Hot wire your heart

But I (I) will drive (drive) you home (home)
I want you to know that
I (I) will drive (drive) you home (home)

Let 'em rev their engines
Let 'em spin their wheels
All they've got is shine
They're just chrome and steel

But I (I) will drive (drive) you home (home)

Here comes that faster fast
Here comes that higher high
As we walk on past
They just step aside

I (I) will drive (drive) you home (home)
I want you to know that
I (I) will drive (drive) you home (home)

Let 'em rev their engines
Let 'em spin their wheels
All they got is shine
They're just chrome and steel
When they raise the flag
And the smoke has cleared
When the rest are gone
I'll be standing here

I (I) will drive (drive) you home (home)
I want you to know that
I (I) will drive (drive) you home (home)

Let 'em rev their engines
Let 'em spin their wheels
All they got is shine
They're just chrome and steel
When they raise the flag
And the smoke has cleared
When the rest are gone
I'll be standing here

Let 'em rev their engines
Let 'em spin their wheels
All they got is shine
They're just chrome and steel
When they raise the flag
And the smoke has cleared
When the rest are gone
I'll be standing here

We saw Bon Jovi in March last year when they played at San Jose's SAP Center on their "This House Is Not For Sale" tour.  The opening was so cool.


I have a crush on Jon...his blue eyes!




My husband thinks they are a chick band but he comes with me anyway and I'm pretty sure he has a good time too. 



Here is the song:



I was going to add some video from the concert we saw but I realize that I need to do some editing first and I don't have time now so we'll have to save that for a future post. 

What do you think?  Are you a Bon Jovi fan?  Thanks again to Helen for such an interesting prompt and go visit some of the other good sounds from today's selections.
