"What You Live For" (Webber/Shervelle) ------- Driving 75 on the highway Pass a cotton field and a state line... Her white cotton dress flashed across my mind Our eyes first met on that long September night I was the man who ran from love until that day Just about to shrug it off like nothin' But then I heard myself say This is what you live for Don't miss when it knocks at your door This could be your only chance Bust down a wall to build a bridge Time to stand tall and go the distance It don't matter if you don't know what's in store 'Cause this is what you live for Well that Monday came, then she was gone A girl's vacation can only last so long She said, "It hurts to say, but this is the end It would never work this way. Think it's best we just be friends..." Now should I still be going to see her? Well, all I hear from the man in the rearview mirror is CHORUS Well our flame that burned so bright blew out when her plane flew out of sight And now I've got a full tank of gasoline She said, "Stop by if you're passing through" Ain't much more that I can do But let her know what she means to me 'Cause CHORUS Ya, this is what you live for Driving 75 on the highway Pass a cotton field and a state line...
