Asleep At The Wheel
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was born out of love
And given a chance
Playing with fast cars
There were so many children
Born with no choices
Stealing their hearts
Now look at the downside
Making it harder
To survive, yeah
So hard to imagine
When taking 'bout strangers
Against your will
You swallow in silence
With petrified tears
Bound and so still
God knows what you're thinking
This life as you knew it
Has just disappeared
We've been asleep at the wheel
Wrapped up and what do we feel?
Living beyond all our means
Burning and living the dream
So many years of not knowing
With false talk and letdowns
When hope is a wish
You would have stayed in denial
Don't even try to escape
It don't exist
Up high on the hill
It's no place for conscience
It's your only fight
We've been asleep at the wheel
Wrapped up and what do we feel?
Living beyond all our means
Burning and living the dream
We're only here for the moment
It's slow when you wanted speed
So many life's and lies
Time has taken its toll, it's true
We'll never give up on you
One day you'll be free
I've been asleep at the wheel
Wrapped up and what do I feel?
Living beyond all my means
Burning and living the dream
We're only here for a moment
It's slow when you wanted speed
