Both Hands On the Wheel

I call 'em like I see 'em

Ain't no point in lookin' back

If I heard that whistle blow

I'd have jumped right on the track

So tired of bein' sad

And just starin' at the ground

My heart beatin' so loud

The whole world could hear it pound

The early morning sun

It rains on my parade

Drownin' in the light

I just stand here in the shade

With the days that just don't end

And the stars up in the sky

You either pull it all together

Or you can kiss it all goodbye

And the roller coaster cries

Up and down the track

Your heart sinks like a ship

The anchor on your back

And the more you throw away

The heavier it feels

And I'm pullin' out of town

With both hands on the wheel

I dug myself a well

When all I needed was a drop

Just as dry down at the bottom

As it was way at the top

And I never do stop movin'

Don't know why I'm still so slow

By the time I get to where I am

It's way past time to go

And the roller coaster cries

Up and down the track

Your heart sinks like a ship

The anchor on your back

And the more you throw away

The heavier it feels

And I'm pullin' out of town

With both hands on the wheel

And everybody's got their secrets

Everybody's got their plans

Everybody's got that somethin'

That just fell right through their hands

My foot is on the gas

No mercy 'til dawn

By the time that moon drops

I'll be farther than long gone

And the roller coaster cries

Up and down the track

Your heart sinks like a ship

The anchor on your back

And the more you throw away

The heavier it feels

And I'm pullin' out of town
