Lyrics

On a drive with too much thinking
Long fields of emptiness
When your music starts repeating
And you realize what you miss
You come up to the mountain
And start to see some light
Back home feels kind of near you
Ocean breezes close in sight

Drive up and over the grapevine
Roll your windows down
You're driving to the south side
Weathers different in this town
Up and over the Grapevine
Memories flash and become clear
There's something about this
All you've missed starts to appear

Up and over the Grapevine
I'll call you on my way down
I'm driving south of the Grapevine
Oh how I miss my hometown

You finish what you came for
You cherish what was there
There's new things to return to
Time spent there made it clear

The climb back comes up sooner
Green hills are up ahead
Blue skies, take in the fresh air
I'd rather drive you've always said

Drive up and over the Grapevine
Roll your windows down
You're driving to the south side
Weather's different in this town

Up and over the Grapevine
Memories flash and become clear
There's something about this
All you've missed starts to appear

Up and over the grapevine
I'll call you on my way down
I'm driving north of the grapevine
Oh how I miss my hometown

I dedicate this song to every friend and family member who has driven with me or talked to me on the phone as I made the road trip back and forth a million times from Northern California to Southern California.
