  • Did you stand there all alone?
    Oh, I cannot explain what's goin' down
    I can see you standin' next to me
    In and out somewhere else right now
    You sigh, look away
    I can see it clear as day
    Close your eyes, so afraid
    Hide behind that baby face

    Do-do-do
    Do-do-do

    You can drive all night
    Lookin' for the answers in the pourin' rain
    You wanna find peace of mind
    Lookin' for the answer

    Funny how it seems like yesterday
    As I recall, you were lookin' out of place
    Gathered up your things and slipped away
    No time at all, I followed you into the hall
    Cigarette daydream
    You were only seventeen
    Soft speak with a mean streak
    Nearly brought me to my knees

    Do-do-do
    Do-do-do

    You can drive all night
    Lookin' for the answers in the pourin' rain
    You wanna find peace of mind
    Lookin' for the answer
    If we can find a reason, a reason to change
    Lookin' for the answers
    If you can find a reason, a reason to stay
    Standin' in the pourin' rain

    Do-do, do, do, do
    Do-do, do, do-do, do-do
    Do-do, do, do, do
    Do-do, do, do-do, do-do

    You can drive all night
    Lookin' for the answers in the pourin' rain
    You wanna find peace of mind
    Lookin' for the answer
    If we can find a reason, a reason to change
    Lookin' for the answer
    If you can find a reason, a reason to stay
    Standin' in the pourin' rain Writer/s: Daniel Andrew Tichenor, Donald Bradley Shultz, Jared Lloyd Champion, Lincoln Parish, Matthew Ray Shultz
