All the other girls here are stars - you are the northern lights
They try to shine in through your curtains - you´re too close and too bright
They try and they try but everything that they do
Is the ghost of a trace of a pale imitation of you
I´ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen

This party was made with the night air and the chance that a smile
Will wind its way from your face to one of the boys in your line
You act like you´re hip to their tricks and you´re strong
But a virgin Wurlitzer heart never once had a song
I´ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen

And I´ll have you back by break of day
I´m going your way anyway
And if you´d like to come along
I´ll be yours for a song

I know you are waiting and I know that it is not for me
But I´m here and I´m ready and I´ve saved you the passenger seat
I won´t be your last dance just your last goodnight
Every heart is a package tangled up in knots someone else tied
I´ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen

So crawl up your trellis and quietly back into your room
And I´ll coast down the length of your drive by the light of the moon
And the next time I see you - a new kind of hello
Both our hearts have a secret only both of us know
´Bout the night that I drove you back home Kathleen
