Lyrics

[male

vocals] (

Gentle

nylon

guitar

arpeggios

swell)

Oh,

Nana

baby

The

road

is

long

And

the

silence

is

heavier

than

the

cargo

You

stood

by

the

gate

and

told

me

lies

Said

the

men

behind

the

wheel

don't

wash

their

souls

But

you

never

saw

the

dust

in

my

tired

eyes

Or

the

tears

that

fell

while

I

was

on

the

road

I’

m

driving

through

the

night,

the

engine

hums

a

ghost

of

you

Every

kilometer

is

just

another

truth

I

can't

undo

You

painted

us

as

dirty,

you

painted

me

as

wrong

But

I

was

just

a

traveler

singing

you

a

lonely

song

Oh,

Nana

baby,

why

did

you

have

to

go?

You

chose

a

bitter

story,

a

lie

you

thought

you

knew

I’

m

hauling

all

this

heartache

down

a

long

and

lonely

line

While

you’

re

back

in

the

city,

leaving

all

of

mine

behind

I’

m

just

a

driver,

Nana,

with

a

heart

of

honest

clay

You

turned

your

back

on

everything

we

built

along

the

way

Do

you

remember

mornings

when

the

sun

kissed

the

dashboard?

I

carried

all

your

dreams

like

precious

freight

inside

my

heart

But

you

traded

in

our

promise

for

a

gossip-ridden

sword

Cutting

every

memory

until

we

fell

apart

They

say

we

don't

bathe,

that

we’

re

covered

in

the

street

But

I

bathed

in

your

love,

girl,

and

it

kept

me

on

my

feet

Now

the

cabin

feels

like

winter,

even

in

the

midday

sun

The

road

goes

on

forever,

and

the

damage

has

been

done

Oh,

Nana

baby,

why

did

you

have

to

go?

You

chose

a

bitter

story,

a

lie

you

thought

you

knew

I’

m

hauling

all

this

heartache

down

a

long

and

lonely

line

While

you’

re

back

in

the

city,

leaving

all

of

mine

behind

I’

m

just

a

driver,

Nana,

with

a

heart

of

honest

clay

You

turned

your

back

on

everything

we

built

along

the

way

It’

s

not

the

grease

upon

my

hands

that

makes

the

distance

deep

It’

s

the

whispers

in

your

head

that

robbed

us

of

our

sleep

I’

m

moving

on,

Nana,

though

the

steering

wheel

is

cold

Some

stories

are

better

left

untold,

and

some

hearts

left

to

fold

So

keep

your

heavy

judgment

in

that

house

you

call

your

own

I’

ll

find

my

peace

in

motion,

in

the

great

unknown

The

truck

is

my

companion,

the

highway

is

my

bed

I’

m

clearing

out

the

shadows

that

you

left

inside

my

head

Goodbye

to

the

heartache,

goodbye

to

the

blame

I’

m

driving

past

the

memory,

I’

m

driving

past

your

name

Oh,

Nana

baby,

why

did

you

have

to

go?

You

chose

a

bitter

story,

a

lie

you

thought

you

knew

I’

m

hauling

all

this

heartache

down

a

long

and

lonely

line

While

you’

re

back

in

the

city,

leaving

all

of

mine

behind

I’

m

just

a

driver,

Nana,

with

a

heart

of

honest

clay

You

turned

your

back

on

everything

we

built

along

the

way

The

road

goes

on

Yeah,

it

keeps

on

winding

Just

a

driver,

Nana

Just

a

driver

in

the

rain (

Fade

out

with

melancholic

guitar

solo)
