I routed for her on "You're the one that I want". She was an underdog because she's a brunette, but she won the role of Sandy on broadway. She broke the mold. To be in the audience for this performance was a complete honor and so surreal. Could you imagine if she didn't get her big break all because of hair color?!
It's wild to listen to this version now after listening to the recent album version hundreds of times! Finding lyrics that stayed, lyrics that changed, whole story elements that changed.
Will Jamieson Recently K+L released an album for The Mad Ones (the show that this song now goes in) that you can find on TH-cam or Spotify or any other number of music streaming services. I highly recommend it
Will Jamieson Same show! It used to be titled The Unauthorised Autobiography of Samatha Brown but it got changed to The Mad Ones, probably because it’s a bit less of a mouthful
I really don’t know what I’m doing here. I don’t have anything to share. I guess I’m here to explain myself. Why I went and where. And I guess that’s fair. I’m only human. I’ve made some mistakes. I don’t think I should apologize. We all make our own decisions. We don’t get to make revisions. I didn’t have a grand plan. I don’t know why I started driving Or where it all began. All I know is the feeling of having to say I’m the girl who drove away. I have no excuse to make. How the road was calling Doesn’t matter at all. How I dreamed of highways beckoning. I forgot it was an illusion. It led to the wrong conclusion. I thought I proved I was strong. But when the highway reached the ocean, I realized I was wrong. Standing there like a fool, That’s the price that I pay As the girl who drove away. But I still feel it: The way the day blows across the sky, And how the miles keep on flying by. I swear I’d never seen this kind of deep orange sunset. It’s almost worth the regret. I’m not complaining. I don’t have the right. I have made my choice, I live with it, But I don’t sleep at all now. The leaves start to turn, it’s fall now. I don’t know why I left home. And I no longer see Why a smart girl like me ever wanted to be The girl who packed her bags, And loaded her dad’s old sedan. That desp’rate girl who ran From the future spelled out in her DNA From the life she deserved, and who stands here today. The girl who drove away.

Awesome! What key is she singing in? Anyone know? Lol
I really don’t know what I’m doing here.
I don’t have anything to share.
I guess I’m here to explain myself.
Why I went and where.
And I guess that’s fair.
I’m only human.
I’ve made some mistakes.
I don’t think I should apologize.
We all make our own decisions.
We don’t get to make revisions.
I didn’t have a grand plan.
I don’t know why I started driving
Or where it all began.
All I know is the feeling of having to say
I’m the girl who drove away.
I have no excuse to make.
How the road was calling
Doesn’t matter at all.
How I dreamed of highways beckoning.
I forgot it was an illusion.
It led to the wrong conclusion.
I thought I proved I was strong.
But when the highway reached the ocean,
I realized I was wrong.
Standing there like a fool,
That’s the price that I pay
As the girl who drove away.
But I still feel it:
The way the day blows across the sky,
And how the miles keep on flying by.
I swear I’d never seen this kind of deep orange sunset.
It’s almost worth the regret.
I’m not complaining.
I don’t have the right.
I have made my choice, I live with it,
But I don’t sleep at all now.
The leaves start to turn, it’s fall now.
I don’t know why I left home.
And I no longer see
Why a smart girl like me ever wanted to be
The girl who packed her bags,
And loaded her dad’s old sedan.
That desp’rate girl who ran
From the future spelled out in her DNA
From the life she deserved, and who stands here today.
The girl who drove away.
