Drive is the eleventh studio album by American country music artist Steve Wariner. It was released on July 27, 1993, via Arista Nashville. The album produced four chart singles on the Billboard country charts in "If I Didn't Love You" at number 8, "Drivin' and Cryin'" at number 24, "It Won't Be over You" at number 18, and the title track at number 63.
Patrick Davitt of The Leader-Post (Regina, Saskatchewan) rated the album 3 out of 5 stars. The reviewer felt that "It Won't Be Over You" was a "hard, bright highlight", while comparing "Drivin' and Cryin'" favorably to the Eagles, as well as the "simpler country tunes" of "(You Could Always) Come Back" and "The Same Mistake Again". He criticized the "unbearably thick and heavy choruses" of "Missing You" and "Married to a Memory", but praised "Sails" as a "pretty" song. [1]
