Driving through the long night Trying to figure who's right and who's wrong Now the kid is gone I sit belted up tight She pulls on a match light glowing bronze Steering on And I might be more of a man If I stopped this in its tracks and say come on Lets go home But she's got the wheel I've got nothing except what I have on When you're driving with the brakes on When you're swimming with your boots on It's hard to say you love someone And it's hard to say you don't 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 huh But she just yawns And 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 your boots on It's hard to say you love someone And it's hard to say you don't Unless the moon falls tonight. Unless continence collides Nothings gonna make me Break from her sight 'Cause when you're driving with the breaks on When you're swimming with your boots on It's hard to say you love someone And it's hard to say you don't When you're driving with the breaks on When you're driving with the breaks on
