Driving Towards the Daylight é o décimo-primeiro álbum de estúdio do guitarrista de blues-rock estadunidense Joe Bonamassa.

Joe Bonamassa (Utica-NY, 8 de Maio de 1977) é um guitarrista de blues-rock estadunidense.

O primeiro disco-solo (A New Day Yesterday), lançado em 2000, é um testemunho de amor ao rock dos anos 60 e 70. Joe começa com o blues-rock Cradle Rock, um clássico do guitarrista irlandês Rory Gallagher e Walk in My Shadows dos britânicos do Free. A faixa título é uma porrada tirada do segundo álbum do Jethro Tull (Stand Up, 1969). Em If Heartaches Were Nickels, Bonamassa convida o tecladista Gregg Allman (The Allman Brothers Band) e o ícone da guitarra Leslie West, fundador do mitológico grupo Mountain. A sonoridade meio anos 70 deve-se ao produtor Tom Doud, que trabalhou com Derek & The Dominos e The Allman Brothers. Don t Burn Down That Bridge é uma reverência aos ingleses do Cream (leia-se Eric Clapton) o timbre da guitarra é idêntica a clássica Sunshine Of Your Love. O guitarrista mostra que também é um compositor competente no rock Nuthin´ I Wouldn´t Do e no blues Trouble Waiting. O disco ainda conta com a participação do guitarrista Rick Derringer, outra referência importante em sua formação.

Look upon a mountain

Waitin' on a train

Baby I know what's wrong

And it still happened again

Waiting on my destiny

Learning from my abilities

Who was wrong and

Who was right and

Do we even know why we are fighting?

So take your eyes off of me

And look upon the churning sea

Driving towards the daylight

Running from the midnight

Trying to get my way home

Running from the spotlight

Trying to find the daylight

Trying to get back home

Rusty strings on my old guitar

Speaks volumes of who you are

So never did I think it was you

It was me, one of the chosen few

Who will it be, oh the next time?

Hopefully one with more sense of mind

So where did you go?

Always will see

It's a story of you and me

Driving towards the daylight

Running from the midnight

Trying to get my way home

Running from the spotlight

Trying to find the daylight

Trying to get back home

Driving towards the daylight

Running from the midnight

Trying to get my way home

Running from the spotlight

Trying to find the daylight

Trying to get my way home

Driving towards the daylight

Running from that midnight

Trying to get my way home

Running from the spotlight

Trying to find the daylight

Trying to get my way home.
