Way on past the boulevards
G D
Out here underneath the stars
G A D G A
I've been flying past the houses, farms and fields
D A
Leaving all I know back there
G D
Rushing through the cold night air
G A D G A
And I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel
D A
Staying clear of the interstate
G D
I'm seeking out those old two lanes
G A D G A
Trying to explain the way I feel
D A
Till all at once it's half past three
G D
And it's down...to just the trucks and me
G A D G A
And I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel
A D
I've been trying to drive you off my mind
G A D A
Maybe that way baby I can leave it all behind
D A
And forty-one goes on and on
G D
And the lights go winding in the dawn
G A D G A
The sky's the color now of polished steel
D A
And the only thing I know for sure
G D
Is if you don't want me anymore
G A D G A
Then I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel

And the only thing I know for sure

Then I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel
