Patty Loveless

(John Scott Sherrill)
Way on past the boulevard
Out here underneath the stars
I've been flyin' past the houses, farms and fields
Leavin' all I know back there
Rushin' through the cold night air
And holdin' onto nothin' but the wheel.
Stayin' clear of the interstate
I'm seekin' out those old two lanes
Tryin' to explain the way I feel
Till all at once it's half past three
And it's down to just the trucks and me
And I'm holdin' onto nothin' but the wheel.
I've been tryin' to drive you off my mind
Maybe that way baby, I can leave it all behind
And 41 goes on and on
And the lights go windin' in the dawn
And the sky's the color now of polished steel
And the only thing I know for sure
Is that if you don't want me anymore
Then I'm holdin' onto nothin' but the wheel.
--- Instrumental ---
And the only thing I know for sure
Is that if you don't want me anymore,
Then I'm holdin' onto nothin' but the wheel.
I'm holding onto nothing but the wheel...
