| Dierks Bentley, Charles Kelley, Eric Paslay, Sept. 30, 2015, Nashville's Skyville Live |
This well-crafted song tells the story of 3 people: Charles is the driver, Eric the dreamer and Dierks 'pours out all that he has' on the third verse as the singer.
Or, this could be the story of one person at various stages in his life. From driving to gigs to being the fan in the front row dreaming and believing he will make it to the stage someday (Dierks has been known to "study" other artists) to becoming the singer on stage.
Either way, it could easily be a contender for collaboration of the year in 2016. The powerhouse trio blend beautifully with solid harmonies, making the mid tempo melody an infectious sing-along.
Dierks posted to his Twitter page a video clip from the Wednesday night rehearsal and debut at Skyville Live, with the caption: Are you a believer? #thesinger.
Listen to the entire song here. Buy it digitally now on iTunes, Google Play and Amazon. I dare you not to play it on repeat for hours!
Charles Kelley – The Driver Lyrics
Written by Charles Kelley, co-written with Eric Paslay and Abe Stoklasa.
I’m the driver
Bringing this circus to town
First one in and the last rolling out
Shuttin’ down
The up-all-nighter
All the stars and sunrises I’ve seen
Every cornfield and town in between
West to east
Oh, easy come easy go
Yeah we rock then we roll out of town
But for now, while the moment is here
Shine a light, drink a beer, let’s get loud
All the drivers and dreamers, believers and singers
Oh, won’t you sing with me now
(Eric Paslay)
I’m the dreamer
Soakin’ up every line
Searching for truth all the time
Oh yeah I’m the believer
That music can save the soul
The one who’s at every show in the front row, singing
Oh, easy come easy go
Yeah we rock then we roll out of town
But for now, while the moment is here
Shine a light, drink a beer, let’s get loud
All the drivers and dreamers, believers and singers
Oh, won’t you sing with me now
(Dierks Bentley)
I’m the singer
Pouring out all that I have
Every love song and heartbreak gone bad
Lookin’ back
When I was younger
Sittin’ right there where you are
Sending a prayer to the highest star
And here we are
Oh, easy come easy go
Yeah we rock then we roll out of town
But for now, while the moment is here
Shine a light, drink a beer, let’s get loud
All the drivers and dreamers, believers and singers
Oh, won’t you sing with me now

Can some please tell me if dierks bentley has a personal facebook account? I have reviewed 3 friend request from "his" page and think it's a scam.
ReplyDeleteIt's likely not a real DB account. Unless it says 3,100,000 Likes, it's not the real Dierks Bentley.
