Nothin' But The Wheel

Album: Only What I Feel (1993)

  • Way on past the boulevards
    Out here underneath the stars
    I've been flying past the houses, farms and fields
    Leaving all I know back there
    Rushing through the cold night air
    And I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel

    Staying clear of the interstate
    I'm seeking out those old two lanes
    Trying to explain the way I feel
    Till all at once it's half past three
    And it's down, to just the trucks and me
    And I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel

    I've been trying to drive you off my mind
    Maybe that way baby I can leave it all behind
    And forty-one goes on and on
    And the lights go winding in the dawn
    The sky's the color now of polished steel
    And the only thing I know for sure
    Is if you don't want me anymore
    Then I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel

    And the only thing I know for sure
    Is if you don't want me anymore
    Then I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel
