For so long I've been riding on a breeze
Whispering with ease
Just doing as I please
But now it's all changed
Remembering the game
Of driving in the rain
When I was young
Responsibilities were none
When I did wrong it was fun
And there was no work to be done
But now all has changed
Remembering the pain
Of driving in the rain
I saw people smiling
Happiness was guaranteed
But now there's so many crying
And that's all my eyes can see
But now all has changed
Remembering thе shame
Of driving in the rain
I saw peoplе smiling
Happiness was guaranteed
Now there's so many crying
And that's all my eyes can see
And the days scurry by so fast
I finally see myself and laugh
Noticing the change
Of driving in the rain
Whispering with ease
Just doing as I please
But now it's all changed
Remembering the game
Of driving in the rain
When I was young
Responsibilities were none
When I did wrong it was fun
And there was no work to be done
But now all has changed
Remembering the pain
Of driving in the rain
I saw people smiling
Happiness was guaranteed
But now there's so many crying
And that's all my eyes can see
But now all has changed
Remembering thе shame
Of driving in the rain
I saw peoplе smiling
Happiness was guaranteed
Now there's so many crying
And that's all my eyes can see
And the days scurry by so fast
I finally see myself and laugh
Noticing the change
Of driving in the rain
