Driving With The Brakes On

Driving through the long night
Trying to figure whos right and whos wrong
Now the kid has gone  I sit belted up tight
She sucks on a match light  glowing bronze  steering on
And I might be more of a man if I stopped this in its tracks
And said  come on  lets go home  but she's got the wheel
And 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
Its hard to say you love someone
And its hard to say you don't
Trying to keep the mood right  trying to steer the conversation from
The thing weve done
She shuts up the ashtray  and I say its a long way back now hon
She just yawns  and we might get lost someplace
So desolate that no one where were 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 your boots on
Its hard to say you love someone
And its hard to say you don't
But unless the moon falls tonight  unless continents collide
Nothings gonna make me  break from her side
When you're driving with the brakes on
When you're swimming with your boots on
Its hard to say you love someone
And its hard to say you don't
Its hard to say you love someone
And its hard to say you don't
