Nothing But The Wheel Lyrics - Sleepless - Peter Wolf

When I'm passed the boulevards 

Out here underneath the stars 

Ive been flyin' past the houses, farms and fields 

Leavin' all I know, back there 

Rushin' through the cold night air 

Im holdin' on to nothin, but the wheel 

Stayin' clear of the interstate 

Im seekin' out those old two lanes 

An' tryin' to explain the way I feel 

Till all at once its half past three 

An' its down to the trust and me 

An' Im holdin' on to nothing but the wheel 

Ive been tryin' to drive you off my mind 

Let it that way be, I can leave it all behind 

An' forty one goes on and on 

An' the lights go winding in the dawn 

An' the skys the color now of polished steel 

An' the only thing I know for sure 

You dont want me anymore 

Then Im holdin' on to nothing but the wheel 

Ive been tryin' to drive you off my mind 

An' let it that way baby, I can leave it all behind 

An' the only thing I know for sure 

Is you dont want me anymore 

An' Im holdin' on to nothing but the wheel 

An' Im holdin' on to nothing but the wheel 

Gettin' down old forty one 

An' forty one takes on and on 

An' the lights go winding in the dawn 

An' Im holdin' on in the corner, yeah 

I'm holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on 

An' the only thing I know for sure 

Is you dont want me anymore 

An' Im holdin' on to nothin but the wheel, oh yeah
