Lyrics
Behind The Wheel
It was a long ride home in the dark
My feet hurt
My head hurt
And everything in between
I couldn?t keep my eyes open
So I stopped for a drink
Big bright letters of a neon sign
Flashing on and off said ?The Wheel?
I walked in and there she was
Froze me right in my tracks
Touched my hand and I was hers
Took me outside ?round the back
Pulled me close and laid my body down
Took me in her arms without a sound
A thunderbolt of love came over me
like Appolonia....How could this be?
Behind The Wheel
I heard the cry
Of country steel
That August night
Behind The Wheel
I?m like a king
Now I can feel
Now I can sing
Behind The Wheel
Afterwards we laid together
For hours in the dark
She didn?t speak
I didn?t speak
There was nothing to say
I knew I was never going back
To my empty house again
No
This is where I was going to stay
Behind The Wheel
I heard the cry
of country steel
that August night
Behind The Wheel
I?m like a king
Now I can feel
Now I can sing
Behind The Wheel
Behind The Wheel
