Driving Around Never Never Land
I’m lost and my Chevy is my Never, Never Land
A place I go to where everyone understands
The rules are the same for everyone to follow
There’s lines marking lanes for everyone to know
There’s signs everyone can see
Everything’s defined and for now you’re free,
You can be someone who can get somewhere, like part of society
Someone who matters as much as all of them
You sing wrong and they don’t condemn
Some guys flirt, hold a cigarette out the window and smile
Then head in another direction so there’s no trial
You are your own, not a pretty rental, used for the trips of travelers causing damage deemed incidental
The terrible things that happen are accidental
They didn’t really see you and ignore you deeming you inconsequential
They just didn’t see you – it was just an accident you must understand
They would never intentionally hurt you in Never, Never Land.
