Lyrics:

We kept apart and connected by the same stretch of road
Neglected the truth and refused to grow old
It started a stream but then the levee fell
When the rainmaker had some extra seeds to sell

I just wanna drink ‘til I'm not thirsty
I just wanna sleep ‘til I'm not tired
I just wanna drive ‘til I run out of highway
Into the purple sky

Well, I just thought I’d call and see what's going on
Did the hills all flatten out since I've been gone?
Are the fields all painted up in red and blue?
Are you thinking of me the times I'm thinking of you?

I just wanna drink ‘til I'm not thirsty
I just wanna sleep ‘til I'm not tired
I just wanna drive ‘til I run out of highway
Into the purple sky
But if I’m gonna live until I’m 50
I’m gonna need you by my side
Cuz I don’t wanna dance without you with me
Into the purple sky

Livin’ like a soulless pirate somewhere lost at sea
Wondering if I ever make it home, will you come back to me

Could we dream up a reason for a rendezvous?
I’m back in town and I got nothing to do
We could drive all day with the top let down
We could stay in tonight or we could wreck this town

I just wanna drink ‘til I'm not thirsty
I just wanna sleep ‘til I'm not tired
I just wanna drive ‘til I run out of highway
Into the purple sky
But if I’m gonna live until I’m 50
I’m gonna need you by my side
Cuz I don’t wanna dance without you with me
Into the purple sky

Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, huh, huh
Into the purple sky
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, huh, huh
Into the purple sky
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, huh, huh
Into the purple sky
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, huh, huh
Into the purple sky

Hey Guys, Just wanted to say I attended the Kid Rock Show at Center Stage Theatre Last Night! And of course Kid Rock put on an awesome show, thanks for playin purple sky, it was my favorite part of the night, and thanks for coming back out after born free, you are the greatest concert performer, song writer, and singer of all time! Thank You for your music!

Absolutely Phenominal Song, Luv the lyrics, luv message, it puts me in a good mood if I'm in a bad mood, and puts me in a even better mood if I'm in a good mood. Can't wait to see Kid Rock play on August 28th when he comes back to Ga. I came to his concert last time he came to Ga. March 4th 2011 at Gwinett Arena and the only way the show could have been better is if he and the twisted brown trucker band played this one. Hope to hear Purple Sky this August Live when Kid Rock returns to Ga. Thanks Kid Rock for ur music and keep it coming. U truly are the best at what you do!!!!!!

WOW I WISH I WAS THE 1 THAT U MR. KID ROCK WAS SINGING THIS SONG FOR....I've never ever was 1 of those females that got all gooey and gushy over some famous person that I will never meet and can only c perform but, I can no longer say that....I'm sure glad I have my desires & dreams because those can't b taken away & they even inspire hope
