When I'm passed the boulevards
Out here underneath the stars
I? ve been flyin' past the houses, farms and fields
Leavin' all I know, back home
Rushin' through the cold night air
I? m holdin' on to nothin?, but the wheel
Stayin' clear of the interstate
I? m seekin' out those old two lanes
An' tryin' to explain the way I feel
Till all at once it? s half past three
An' it? s down to the trust and me
An' I? m holdin' on to nothing but the wheel
I? ve been tryin' to drive you off my mind
Let it that way be, I can leave it all behind
An' forty one goes on and on
An' the lights go winding in the dawn
An' the sky? s the color now of polished steel
An' the only thing I know for sure
You don? t want me anymore
Then I? m holdin' on to nothing but the wheel
I? ve been tryin' to drive you off my mind
An' let it that way baby, I can leave it all behind
An' the only thing I know for sure
Is you don? t want me anymore
An' I? m holdin' on to nothing but the wheel
An' I? m holdin' on to nothing but the wheel
Gettin' down old forty one
An' forty one takes on and on
An' the lights go winding in the dawn
An' I? m holdin' on in the corner, yeah
I'm holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on
An' the only thing I know for sure
Is you don? t want me anymore
An' I? m holdin' on to nothin? but the wheel, oh yeah
