Drivin' My Life Away - Eddie Rabbitt (Lyrics)

[@pasteurbacaflor8811]

It's one of my favorite country songs.Greetings from Peru.

[@cel.este933]

I'm a 31yo Mexican latina and I used to listen to this with my brother when he would take me on overnight truck drives when I was a kid. Best times of my life and I get to relive them when I hear this song ❤🥹 God bless all truck drivers ❤

[@Blackwood260]

I listened to this many times, while rackin up over 2million miles in my 32 year career 0f truckin.... I STILL LOVE IT!!

Ain't nothing like listening to it Eastbound on 84 going into Boise at sunset. Sun at your back with the moon starting to light up the mountain tops.

[@keats27]

Try Sweet Emotion medium loud, see how fast you end up going. That said, I came looking for this song because someone put up a picture of a long straight open highway, and asked what song was playing....someone mentioned this and I thought oooooo haven't heard that in awhile.

[@georgeheider4830]

After 7 years of retirement I try to listen to trucking songs quite a lot. But this one just about brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it ! My career was only 47years and 4 million miles in all 48 states in the lower USA plus Canada and even Mexico a couple of times. Anyway, this has got to be my favorite driving song ever, and I hope Eddie Rabbitt is resting in peace.

[@who-ge1gu]

Know any other trucking songs as good as this one?

[@leslieclark9285]

Me too. He was a singing angel to all of us that love that song and all the great feelings that come with it.

[@summerbreeze6214]

Thank you truly, for your service. You are the reason we have food on our tables and a roof over our heads. The American trucker has never trul received their due recognition. And I too, absolutely love this song.

[@niemi5858]

The first time I heard this was on a rainy night driving a semi eastbound on I70 out of Denver. Value of the truck - $140,000. - value of the experience - priceless.

[@bradpnw1897]

@@niemi5858 exactly right and also when owner-operator meant you could actually make enough to raise a family and eventually buy a house and become blue collar middle-class. Like back when the logbook was an actual physical book not an app on a computer. Pre-pandemic I couldn't believe it when I was reading about how they were treating the trucker's at the pier in Long Beach and all the exasperating conditions and restrictions they were putting them under, a lot of them are making so little money they can't even afford to live anywhere else but their trucks some of them. As bad as it is sometimes in Washington State, the Bay Area and California is on such a different level of restrictions and extremely overbearing laws I'm so glad I do not live anywhere near there!!!

[@Numba003]

I think it’s easy to feel stuck in rut sometimes, but you can find wonder even in the mundane parts of life, like in the tempo of the windshield wipers. Jesus Christ be with you friends!😊

[@rongreen4231]

How can you not love this tune?

[@josesantamaria8990]

I heard that song when I was a little boy , my dad loved it ❤ but I never heard it again until now , a lot of sweet memories came to me , thinking about my father , he died when I was 12 years old ... but this song 🎵 made my day 🥲🥲🥲🥲😊🤗

[@joejones9944]

Glad you found it again. Sorry for Your loss

[@jimtidmorejr7891]

I was 15 when this song came out. Brings back a flood of good memories. thanks

I heard this driving outside of Joshua Tree, CA the other year. It's the perfect road trip song.

I hadn’t heard this song in years! Just heard it right now in the Selena was here on Netflix! Great hit!

Have not heard this song since a beach trip when I was barely able to form memories and have been hunting for years for it. Nobody knew the song I was talking about, and they didn't have to because here I am living a 26 year old memory, nearly in tears just holding that in my head.

[@joejones9944]

Glad you finally found it. Can't believe nobody knew the song you were talking about. This was very popular in the 80's.

[@georgeprice4212]

I was 11 when Eddie released the Horizon album, and that was what broke his career! Even Album Rock stations here in Houston were playing his songs! This one, 747 (an album track, which earned B Side status when he and all of Elektra’s Country roster transferred to Warner Brothers in 1982-1983) and I Love A Rainy Night all got AirPlay.

[@jaimecastro1342]

It's a long time since I watched The A-Team but I've been rewatching them recently and just seen the episode with this song in it. I don't remember hearing it before but it's a really great track.

Legend has it that those windshield wipers were possessed. And they would slap out the tempo to any song that came on the radio. And that they wouldn't work if the radio was off.

Drivin' My Life Away Eddie Rabbitt Llevando mi vida lejos Pues los faros de medianoche te ciegan en una noche lluviosa. Well the midnight headlights blind you on a rainy night Adelante, despacio, despacio, sin tiempo, Steep grade up ahead, slow me down, makin' no time, Pero tengo que seguir rodando But I got to keep rollin' Esos limpiaparabrisas apagando un tempo, Those windshield wipers slappin' out a tempo, Manteniendo el ritmo perfecto con la canción en la radio, Keepin' perfect rhythm with the song on the radio, Pero tengo que seguir rodando But I got to keep rollin' Ooh, estoy alejando mi vida, buscando una mejor manera para mí Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a better way for me Ooh, me estoy yendo mi vida, buscando un día soleado Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a sunny day Bueno, la camioneta se detiene. Well the truck stop cutie comin' on to me, Intenté convencerme de un paseo Tried to talk me into a ride Dijo que no me arrepentiría Said I wouldn't be sorry Pero ella era sólo un bebé. But she was just a baby Hey, camarera, me sirves otra taza de café, Hey, waitress, pour me another cup of coffee, Descárgalo, levántame, dispárame, volando por la carretera, Pop it down, jack me up, shoot me out, flyin' down the highway, Buscando la mañana Lookin' for the mornin' Ooh, estoy alejando mi vida, buscando una mejor manera para mí Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a better way for me Ooh, me estoy yendo mi vida, buscando un día soleado Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a sunny day Pues los faros de medianoche te ciegan en una noche lluviosa. Well the midnight headlights blind you on a rainy night Adelante, despacio, despacio, sin tiempo, Steep grade up ahead, slow me down, makin' no time, Pero tengo que seguir rodando But I got to keep rollin' Esos limpiaparabrisas apagando un tempo, Those windshield wipers slappin' out a tempo, Manteniendo el ritmo perfecto con la canción en la radio, Keepin' perfect rhythm with the song on the radio, Pero tengo que seguir rodando But I got to keep rollin' Ooh, estoy alejando mi vida, buscando una mejor manera para mí Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a better way for me Ooh, me estoy yendo mi vida, buscando un día soleado Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a sunny day Ooh, estoy alejando mi vida, buscando una mejor manera para mí Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a better way for me Ooh, me estoy yendo la vida, buscando un día soleado, sí Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a sunny day, yeah Ooh, estoy alejando mi vida, buscando una mejor manera para mí Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a better way for me
