Lady Antebellum's Charles Kelley has released his debut solo single "The Driver."
"I'm the driver / Bringing the circus to town / First one in and the last rolling out / Shuttin' down," the song begins. "The up-all-nighter / All the stars and sunrises I've seen / Every cornfield and town in between / West to east."
"The Driver" was co-written by Kelley, Abe Stoklasa and Eric Paslay, who also appears on the track with as well as Dierks Bentley.
"The perspective seemed like a Crosby, Stills and Nash story song," Kelley says of the songs lyrics. "We went in the studio to record it with no agenda. I thought, maybe it'll be the start of the next Lady Antebellum record, maybe we'll scrap it, maybe I'll pitch the song to other singers."
"Oh, easy come, easy go / Yeah, we rock, then we roll / Out of town," they sing during the chorus. "But for now / While the moment is here / Shine a light / Drink a beer / Let's get loud / All the drivers and dreamers / Leavers and singers / Oh, won't you sing with me now?"
