Lyrics for Hands on the Wheel
At a time when the world seems to be spinnin' Hopelessly out of control There's deceivers and believers and old in-betweeners That seem to have no place to go Well, it's the same old song, it's right and it's wrong And livin' is just somethin' that I do And with no place to hide, I looked in your eyes And I've found myself in you I looked to the stars, tried all of the bars And I've nearly gone up in smoke Now my hand's on the wheel, I've something that's real And I feel like I'm goin' home And in the shade of an oak, down by the river Sit an old man and a boy Settin' sail, spinnin' tales and 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 And with no place to hide, I looked in your eyes And I've found myself in you And I looked to the stars, tried all of the bars And I've nearly gone up in smoke Now my hand's on the wheel, I've something that's real And I feel like I'm goin' home
