Brian Fallon - Long Drives Lyrics
I built a room for you in the back of my mind
Where the ravenous wolves and the ghosts I know reside
You were amazing, you were always on my mind
We were secrets to keep, crows buried side-by-side
But we tasted a kiss that was sent from below
In the back of a car with a child at heart
Who suddenly showed you their teeth
But you say, "I’m alright
Baby, I don’t mind
I’ll get on just fine
On them long, long drives"
I keep a letter you wrote before the devil came in the picture
Says, "I've got you now, wrapped around my finger"
And every night, I would race the Moon and fall for you
Cause you ache for a drug a that'll never be enough
You're never gonna feel like when he first picked you up
When he drove you around, bought you powder and flowers
Until the thrill was gone
But you said, "I’m alright
Baby, I don’t mind
I’ll get on just fine
On them long, long drives"
Last night I remembered being seventeen
I met a girl with a taste for the world and whiskey and rites of spring
Spent every night with cassettes that she liked
In a car that I borrowed a lot
And I could never get her to believe
But you said, "I’m alright
Baby, I don’t mind
I’ll get on just fine
On them long, long drives"
Because I'm alright
Janie, I don't mind
I'll get on just fine
On them long, long drives without you
Without you
Without you
Drives without you

Brian Fallon Long Drives Comments
Amazing song by a great songwriter, one of the best
Better than the molly version, not to be rude.
why Is this so different from the molly and the zombie version?
That bit where he's like ''I keep a letter you wrote, before the devil came in the picture and says 'I've got you now''' And there's just like that little sound that comes after it...Fucking emotions
Definitely a pretty version, but I think it lacks the power of the original. This is soft, the original was a serious blues/folk song.
I built a room for you in the back of my mind
Where the ravenous wolves and the ghosts I know reside
You were amazing, you were always on my mind
We were secrets to keep, crows buried side-by-side
But we tasted a kiss that was sent from below
It was cool in the night, I was old as a stone
In the back of a car with a child at heart
Who suddenly showed you their teeth
But you say, "I’m alright
Baby, I don’t mind
I’ll get on just fine
On them long, long drives"
I keep a letter you wrote before the devil came in the picture
Says, "I've got you now, wrapped around my finger"
And into the mystic, we were blue and outrageous
And every night, I would race the Moon and fall for you
Cause you ache for a drug a that'll never be enough
You're never gonna feel like when he first picked you up
When he drove you around, bought you powder and flowers
Until the thrill was gone
But you said, "I’m alright
Baby, I don’t mind
I’ll get on just fine
On them long, long drives"

Baby, I don’t mind
I’ll get on just fine
On them long, long drives"
Because I'm alright
Janie, I don't mind
I'll get on just fine
On them long, long drives without you
Without you
Without you
Drives without you
Molly and the Zombies one s better
Great, but the Molly version is better... More heartfelt
One more sleep. Fallon at the Opera House in Toronto tomorrow night. Looking forward to it immensely.
It sounds like as if Tom Petty did a cover of the original, which is a great sound
Looks like I have some new lyrics to learn compared to the original :)
The old version was my favorite from Molly, but this just brings tears to my eyes, it's a heartfuck.
OH MY GOD
It's so weird how it's like a totally different song now. Sounds way more uplifting than the original. I love both though.
