"Hands Upon The Wheel" lyrics

"Hands Upon The Wheel"

We'll steal your daddy's car
Roll down the window and ride on the breeze
We'll live on what we got
'Cause what we got is all that we need

Staring down an open road
Small-town static playing on the radio
I got nothing up my sleeve
Tell me what is real and what is make-believe
Tell me now who's keeping score
The less keep getting less, the more keep getting more
Is it too much for me to ask
Do you look forward to the past
Or forward to today

We'll steal your daddy's car
Roll down the window and ride on the breeze
We'll live on what we got
'Cause what we got is all that we need

I don't care what people say
If they don't like us they can look the other way
We'll go walking arm in arm
We don't mean nobody harm
We're just livin' our lives
Doin' the best we can

We'll steal your daddy's car
Roll down the window and ride on the breeze
We'll live on what we got
'Cause what we got is all that we need

All that we need
Still wings are wings that never fly
Feel your hands upon the wheel
Making plans that don't come true
Promises mean nothin' without the follow-through
Broken watches don't tell time
Broken people asking
Was it ever really mine

We'll steal your daddy's car
Roll down the window and ride on the breeze
We'll live on what we got
'Cause what we got is all that we need

All that we need
Ride on the breeze
All that we need
All that we need
