Tesla By The Beach

[Verse 1]
We rolled in past Ventura
Windows down and salt in the air
You had your shades on the dash
I had my hand in your hair
Cold drinks sweating in the cup holder
Sand on your bare feet too
And you laughed when I said, baby
I’d rather drive with you

[Pre-Chorus]
You said, “Boy, let it take the wheel”
“Let the road do what it does”
I said, “I wanna feel that turn”
Feel that warm California hush
You smiled like you already knew
Just how this one would go

[Chorus]
Let me drive, let me drive
Or let the FSD glide
You want calm, I want thrill
Two hearts, one Silverado heart
Let me drive, let me drive
Or let the FSD glide
If you hold my hand real tight
I’ll choose you every time

[Verse 2]
We hit the strip in Santa Barbara
Sunset gold on the hood
You said, “Baby, trust the machine”
I said, “I know it’s good”
But I like leaning into the curves
With you singing along
You like sipping that lime drink
And telling me I’m wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
You said, “Boy, relax, breathe easy”
“Let the car handle the load”
I said, “Maybe, but when I’m with you
I like driving down that coast”
You reached over, touched my jaw
And that answer felt like home

[Chorus]
Let me drive, let me drive
Or let the FSD glide
You want calm, I want thrill
Two hearts, one Silverado heart
Let me drive, let me drive
Or let the FSD glide
If you hold my hand real tight
I’ll choose you every time

[Bridge]
We parked by the water line
Bare toes in the foam
You laughed and said, “Be stubborn”
Then kissed me slow
Maybe it’s the road, maybe it’s you
Maybe both of us were right
You want easy on the highway
I want you on the ride

[Final Chorus]
Let me drive, let me drive
Or let the FSD glide
You want calm, I want thrill
Two hearts, one California ride
Let me drive, let me drive
Or let the FSD glide
With the beach wind in our hair
I’ll choose you every time
(choose you every time)
(choose you every time)
