Brett Eldredge - Sunday Drive lyrics

They didn't ever say where we were going
We just climbed into the backseat
Eyes wide open to the picture show outside
I guess we really didn't understand it all
I remember looking up at
Them in the front row
Hands touched together almost out of sight
It's been a long hard week but
Now the slow release of a Sunday afternoon

And we were only young but they
Were trying hard to reach us
How was I to know that there
Was something so worth keepin'?

'Cause we were watching the world
Through an open window
Trees lined up like dominoes
This old car could find it's own way home
It's the ordinary things that mean so much
That's where I learned it all from them
To fight, to love, to laugh again
Man, I thought we were only wasting time
Out on a Sunday drive

The sun warms your soul just
Like an old friend
Singing songs along that ribbon of a road
And everyone you love is
Sitting there so close
You're never thinking that you'd ever get old
No, you'll never get old

Just watching the world through
An open window trees lined up like dominoes
This old car could find it's own way home
It's the ordinary things that mean so much
That's where I learned it all from them
To fight, to love, to laugh again
And man, I thought we were only wasting time
Out on a Sunday drive, oh

I never said where we were going
I just helped them to the backseat
Dad just laughed and said, "Son
Don't drive too far
Your mama gets pretty tired these days"
After a few miles I guess
They recognized some places
And I listened as they reminisced
About a world that they had always
Known and how it's changin'
Probably never gonna be the same again
I caught 'em in the mirror
They were holding hands and smiling
Looking younger than they'd been in years
Oh, through all the years

And they were watching the world
Through an open window
Trees lined up like dominoes
This old car could find it's own way home
It's the ordinary things that mean so much
That's where I learned it all from them
To fight, to love, to laugh again
Man, I thought we were only wasting time
Out on a Sunday drive out on a Sunday drive
Out on a Sunday drive out on a Sunday drive
