Drivin' All Night Lyrics

Wasn't nothing as pretty in Panama City as you
That's what I took away from that spring break that
year
There wasn't no shortcut down to LSU
oh but it wasn't like it was hard talking me into
Drivin' all night, drivin' all night
Drivin' like a bat outta hell
Cheap motels calling my name
No way I was stopping that Chevy
Red Bull keeping my left foot heavy
1, 1: 30, 2, 2: 30, 3 a.m, Steve Earle out Tom Petty
Back in
Bird dog working hard giving them blue lights away
Hey
Drivin' all night, drivin' all night
Drivin' like just to hold you for a day

Trumpet player Michael Ray spent approximately 15 years with the Sun Ra Arkestra before he took the leap and established a band of his own, Michael Ray & the Cosmic Krewe. He had previously contributed to the sound of Kool & the Gang. While Sun Ra's outfit played free jazz, and Kool & the Gang was more of a contemporary funk outfit, Ray and his Cosmic Krewe have learned how to deliver their own type of funk to a jazz audience, as evidenced on the song "Earthrite." While the number gets the crowd moving in a big way every time during a live show, when Michael Ray & the Cosmic Krewe debuted with an eponymous release in 1994, it was decided that the mix was too much of a gamble. Evidence Music didn't include "Earthrite" on the release, although the song later found a place on Funk If I Know. Read more on Last.fm.
