Lyrics

Behind The Wheel

verses

(spoken)
It was a long ride home in the dark
My feet hurt,
my head hurt
and everything in between
I couldnít keep my eyes open
so I stopped for a drink
big bright letters of a neon sign
flashing on and off The Wheel

sung
I walked in and there she was
Froze me right in my tracks
Touched my hand and I was hers
Took me outside, ëround the back

Pulled me close and laid my body down
took me in her arms without a sound
A thunderbolt of love came over me
like Appolonia....How could this be?

Chorus
Behind The Wheel
I heard the cry
Of country steel
that August night

Behind The Wheel
Iím like a king
Now I can feel
Now I can sing
Behind The Wheel

Afterwards, we lay together for hours in the dark
She didnít speak,
I didnít speak
There was nothin to say
I knew I was never go back to my empty house again
no
this was where I was going to stay

Chorus
Behind The Wheel
I heard the cry
Of country steel
that August night

Behind The Wheel
Iím like a king
Now I can feel
Now I can sing
Behind The Wheel
