Lightning Thief Cast, The - Drive Lyrics






[Grover:]
Guys, we got this
You ain't shot this
Yo, I know your train of thought is
That there ain't no way in Hades that we'll win

All your worries
Come in flurries
But we bested freakin' Furies!
Look how far we've come, we can't give in

It's one foot forward at a time
Dust off all that grit and grime
We still got a lot left to do

'Cause people are counting on us
And I'm counting on you

[Conductor:]
All aboard!

[Grover:]
Drive
Just drive

Stay ahead
Stay ahead
Stay alive

We ain't got no time for moping
When we're working and we're coping
So pedal to the metal and drive!

[Conductor:]
St. Louis, everybody off!

[Annabeth:]
Look! The Gateway Arch!

[Percy:]
Whoa. Look! A lady with a puppy! Aw, is that a Chihuahua? Aw, hey lil– whoa!

[Echidna:]
[Laughing] It's a chimera!

[Annabeth:]
That was freaky!

[Percy:]
That was scary!

[Grover:]
Yo, guys, are you aware
We keep surviving every creepy crazy thing

[Tractor Guy:]
Hop on my tractor!

[Percy, Annabeth & Grover:]
Like an arrow from Orion
Keep on straight and keep on tryin'
No Fates are ever gonna cut our string

[Reporter:]
As you can see, Bob, we've got thunder and flooding and hurricane level winds. We urge all citizens to stay off the road, and don't

[Percy, Annabeth & Grover:]
Drive
Just drive

Stay ahead
Stay ahead
And stay alive

The weather may be stormy
But the road is still before me
So pedal to the metal and drive!

[Tractor Guy:]
Bye kids!

[Annabeth:]
Okay, here's the problem. Public transportation is suspended due to the storm, and if we get on a plane, Zeus will strike us right out of the sky

[Percy:]
Do we have enough drachmas for an Uber?

[Grover:]
We don't even have enough drachmas for a cheeseburger!

[Percy:]
If you hadn't bought all those dam snacks

[Grover:]
Uh, it was the Hoover Dam, and I was hungry!

[Percy, Annabeth & Grover:]
[Indistinct arguing]

[Percy:]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Why are we fighting?

[Ares:]
I have that effect
Ares, god of war. Maybe you've met my daughter - Clarisse?
Wh-o-oa, whoa, relax, I come in peace! I hear you runts are headed to Hades, but you'll never make it on public transportation. I can take you as far as Vegas
Y'all cool with motorcycles, right?

[Percy:]
What do you think? Can we trust this guy?

[Grover:]
It's one foot forward at a time?

[Percy:]
Dust off all that grit and grime?

[Annabeth:]
We still

[Percy, Annabeth & Grover:]
Got a lot left to do

'Cause people are counting on us
And I'm counting on you

Drive
Just drive

Stay ahead
Stay ahead
And stay alive

[Ares:]
The road, it offers freedom
As for rules, hell, we don't need 'em!

[All:]
So pedal to the metal and drive!

[Percy:]
I never dreamed that I could do this
Never felt like I was worth a damn
But I, I'm sorta getting through this
I mean, wha? I mean, look at where I am!

[Ares:]
Vegas, baby! This is where I get off

[Grover:]
That guy is so cool

[Annabeth:]
Okay, gang, we'll be in LA tomorrow. But tonight, we need a place to sleep

[Percy:]
How about here? The Lotus Hotel

[Annabeth:]
Pssh, you're joking, right? In The Odyssey, if you went to sleep in a lotus bed, one night could last one hundred years!

[Percy:]
Uh, I'm sure that's irrelevant. Um, excuse me miss, how long have you been at this hotel?

[Bianca di Angelo:]
Why, my brother and I arrived just yesterday: May 1st... 1939!

[Percy:]
Uh, we can sleep on the road

[Percy, Annabeth & Grover:]
Drive
Just drive

Stay ahead
And don't get dead
And stay alive

[Grover:]
With the wind upon our faces
We're getting all the places

[Annabeth:]
No major fender benders
Now we're looking like contenders

[Percy:]
The Oracle can can it
I'll save my mom and save the planet

[Percy, Annabeth & Grover:]
So pedal to the metal and

[Percy:]
Oh look, a bus to Los Angeles!

[Annabeth:]
Are you sure that's a good idea?

[Percy:]
This one we just won't blow up!

[Grover:]
Ha!

[Percy, Annabeth & Grover:]
And drive!

    PERCY: If you hadn't bought all those dam snacks- GROVER: uh, it was the Hoover Dam, and I was hungry.
    ANNABETH: Ya, well you got fat, and all you needed to do to buy me a T-Shirt, and that was it. Maybe you want to stop fighting and move on?
    GROVER: No, no and you know that if I don't eat I get grumpy because my blood sugar is low and I have type 3 diabetes.
    PERCY: Ya, well you wasted ten dollars! No, we are all hungry Grover! No, you don't think about anyone... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why are we fighting?

    I haven't read the original books (I'm so lame, I know) to understand all of the easter jokes and inside jokes. Hell, I just started listening to the album and I don't know if I completely follow the plot yet either. But I just want to say how this song, especially the lyrics "Drive/Just Drive/Stay ahead, stay ahead/Just Drive" is really helping me cope with depression. I keep on repeating this song over and over again. Thank you so much Rob Rokicki and cast of The Lightning Thief. I hope to see this show in person one day.

  68. C.... N....

    Catch me at 3 am singing this

  69. r.... b....

    At 2:15 the captions say "ARES, spoken like the true douchebag he is"

    Ares (GOD OF WAR): I come in peace

  74. N.... ....

    Turn on Closed Captions for anything, if not, 2:15 alone!

  75. s.... s....

    My two favorite things, George Salazar and Percy Jackson

  76. D.... S....

    2:15 *ARES, spoken like the true douchebag he is*
    Ares: EXCUSE MOI?
    Me: Its true.

  77. G.... S....

  84. p.... r....

    Omg bob





    Hi🌌

  85. M.... R....

    Percy: “Woah woah woah, why are we fighting?

    Ares, sitting on the rafters: “I have that effect.”

    Entire theatre starts clapping, and it takes a good 10 seconds for the song to continue again

  86. T.... A....

    Turning on the captions was the best decision I’ve ever made.

    [ARES, spoken like the true douchebag he is-] I have that effect!

  87. S.... D....

    I guess they found the dam snack bar! :D

  88. J.... C....

    I think this is my favorite song on this soundtrack it’s so dam funny

  89. b.... 1....

    They did not go to the Hoover Dam in the lightning thief, they went in the titan's curse. And Annabeth and Grover weren't with Percy when he met the Chimera, they also stayed in the lotus hotel. This was really important in the book because that meant they only had like 2 days left. And if Percy never fell in the river under the arch he never would have known to go the ocean on the west coast.

    But honestly, this is so much better than the movie I will overlook it.

  90. n.... t....

    stay aliveeeee

  91. l.... w....

    ok












    Now I need Titan's Curse The Musical *BC I NEED NICO AND BIANCA!!!!*

  92. O.... ....

    This song just makes me so happy :) especially with the annotations!

  93. E.... R....

    Yo, I know your train of thought is that there ain’t no way in hades that we’ll wiiin... **INHALES**

    E.... R....

    Goat lungs

  94. E.... C....

    I listened to this song for the one hundredth time, and realized the woman and her brother were Bianca and Nico.
    I thought it was a revolutionary discovery, until I told my friend and he said, "Lol yeah, so has everyone else"

  95. R.... W....

    Some girl: Well my brother and I arrived just yesterday. May 1st, --- 1939!








    Bianca????

  96. K.... I....

    you guys reading the captions when Ares is introduced

  97. E.... M....

    I love this dam song

  98. E.... F....

    Anyone else notice that when ares talks and you have captions on it says {ares, spoken like the true douchbag he is} and then says the qoute.

  99. R.... C....

    Omg Nico and Bianca kajskdkkskdkdkdkdkkdkdkdkdkdkdkkd im screaming!!!!!!!!!

  100. B.... R....

    wtf is that barfing sound in the background please i need help

    B.... R....

    I always thought it was Roadsick Grover or something but then I realized that he's harmonizing and *not* barfing. So..... Good question.

    B.... R....

    At 3:06? Grover’s supposed to choke on a bug (if that’s what you meant).

    B.... R....

    @Jay thank you!!!
