“Hands On The Wheel”
There’s deceivers an’ believers an’ old in-betweeners,
That seem to have no place to go.
Well, it’s the same old song, it’s right an’ it’s wrong,
An’ livin’ is just somethin’ that I do.
An’ with no place to hide, I looked in your eyes,
An’ I found myself in you.I looked to the stars, tried all of the bars.
An’ I’ve nearly gone up in smoke.
Now my hand’s on the wheel, I’ve something that’s real,
An’ I feel like I’m goin’ home.
An’ in the shade of an oak down by the river,
Sit an old man an’ a boy,
Settin’ sail, spinnin’ tales an’ fishin’ for whales,
With a lady they both enjoy.
Well, it’s the same damn tune, it’s the man in the moon.
It’s the way that I feel about you.
An’ with no place to hide, I looked in your eyes,
An’ I found myself in you.
An’ I looked to the stars, tried all of the bars.
An’ I’ve nearly gone up in smoke.
Now my hand’s on the wheel, I’ve something that’s real,
An’ I feel like I’m goin’ home.
