Here comes the next big thing
There’s a new gun in town
There’ll be a faster one
Before the sun goes down
They’ve come to kick the tires
They’d like to take a spin
See how it takes the turns
See if it breaks or bends
But I will drive you home
I want you to know that
I will drive you home
Hell, it ain’t nothing new
Everything new gets old
Maybe some glitter’s gone
But we’re still good as gold
When some driver comes
And tries to jump the start
Thinks he can steal your love
Hot wire your heart
But I (I) will drive (drive) you home (home)
I want you to know that
I (I) will drive (drive) you home (home)
Let ’em rev their engines
Let ’em spin their wheels
All they’ve got is shine
They’re just chrome and steel
But I (I) will drive (drive) you home (home)
Here comes that faster fast
Here comes that higher high
As we walk on past
They just step aside
I (I) will drive (drive) you home (home)
I want you to know that
I (I) will drive (drive) you home (home)
Let ’em rev their engines
Let ’em spin their wheels
All they got is shine
They’re just chrome and steel
When they raise the flag
And the smoke has cleared
When the rest are gone
I’ll be standing here
I (I) will drive (drive) you home (home)
I want you to know that
I (I) will drive (drive) you home (home)
Let ’em rev their engines
Let ’em spin their wheels
All they got is shine
They’re just chrome and steel
When they raise the flag
And the smoke has cleared
When the rest are gone
I’ll be standing here
Let ’em rev their engines
Let ’em spin their wheels
All they got is shine
They’re just chrome and steel
When they raise the flag
And the smoke has cleared
When the rest are gone
I’ll be standing here
Steadfast Love in the Fast Lane
“I Will Drive You Home” by Bon Jovi paints a vivid picture of loyalty and enduring affection amidst a world obsessed with speed, novelty, and fleeting thrills. The lyrics cleverly use automotive metaphors—revving engines, shiny chrome, and racing flags—to represent the constant arrival of new temptations and competitors. Despite the allure of “faster” and “shinier” alternatives, the narrator’s unwavering commitment shines through, promising to be a steady presence when the excitement fades away. The refrain, “I will drive you home,” becomes a powerful promise of reliability, comfort, and lasting love, setting the song apart as an anthem for those who value devotion over flashiness.
