When I'm passed the boulevards
Out here underneath the stars
Ive been flyin' past the houses, farms and fields
Leavin' all I know, back home
Rushin' through the cold night air
Im holdin' on to nothin, but the wheel
Stayin' clear of the interstate
Im seekin' out those old two lanes
An' tryin' to explain the way I feel
Till all at once its half past three
An' its down to the trust and me
An' Im holdin' on to nothing but the wheel
Ive 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 skys the color now of polished steel
An' the only thing I know for sure
You dont want me anymore
Then Im holdin' on to nothing but the wheel
Ive 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 dont want me anymore
An' Im holdin' on to nothing but the wheel
An' Im 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' Im 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 dont want me anymore
An' Im holdin' on to nothin but the wheel, oh yeah
