G Driving through the long night
Trying to figure who's right and who's Em wrong
Now the kid has G gone. I sit belted up tight.
She sucks on a match light, glowing Em bronze, steering G on.
And I C might be more a man if I D stopped this in it's tracks
And said come Em on, let's go G home. But C she's got the wheel.
And D I've got nothing except what I have Em on. C
CHORUS:
When you're driving with the b G rakes on.
When you're swimming with you're Em boots on.
It's hard to say you C love someone D
And it's hard to say you Em don't. C
Trying to keep the mood right,
trying to steer the conversation from,the thing we've done.
She shuts up the ashtray and I say it's a long way back now hon,
And she just yawns.
And we might get lost someplace
So desolate that no one where we're from, would ever come
But she's got the wheel and I've got to deal from now on.
When you're driving with the brakes on.
When you're swimming with you're boots on.
It's hard to say you love someone
And it's hard to say you don't.
But unless the moo G n falls tonigh Em t,
unless C continents Em collide. G
Nothing's gonna Em make m C e D
Break from her Em side. C D
