Steady On Lyrics - Steady On - Shawn Colvin

China gets broken and it will never be the same 

Boats on the ocean find their way back again 

I am weaving like a drunkard, like a balloon up in the air 

I am needing a puncture and someone to point me somewhere 

I'm gonna keep my head on straight up and steady on 

I just hope it's not too late 

Open up the gate I go straight up, steady on 

Oh steady on, go steady on, steady on, steady on 

I was feeling imploded, a wooden smile, a wooden heart 

Then things exploded like rockets in the dark 

Now I'm pulling out splinters and I'm off to hibernate somewhere 

For the nuclear winter of another love affair 

'Cause he seemed like a miracle, he was steady on 

I ate it up like cereal now 

But it was something like shrapnel, I know steady 

Go steady on, steady on, steady on, oh oh oh, yeah 

[Incomprehensible] 

It's like ten miles of a two-lane, steady on 

On a South Dakota wheat plain 

In the middle of a hard rain 

I go straight on a slow boat or a fast train 

I am gonna keep my head on straight 

I'm gonna keep my head on straight 

I'm gonna keep my head on straight 

Go steady on, steady on, steady on 

I go steady on, steady on 

Go steady on, steady on, steady on, yeah
