She'd made it plain
That I'd run out of ways
To win her back again
Her seat was back
No seat belt on
And on the radio
Some too familiar song
I thought if I could hurt her
Then she couldn't leave
She'd need someone to nurse her
Someone could be me
Together hell for leather shooting up the midnight motorway
I drove the car that took my love away
I glimpsed her hair
Blown by the wind
And passing headlights
Dance across her perfect skin
I saw the road
Its curves ahead
Then I saw me with flowers
At her hospital bed
I saw the corner nearing
And looked to the sky
I let go of the steering wheel
And closed my eyes
And though it never crossed my mind she might not live to see the day
I drove the car that took my love away
Together hell for leather shooting up the midnight motorway
I drove the car that took my love away
