Lyrics

Wheelhouse


We did it your way 15 years
Every step of the way
I followed your lead to end of the road
And past that into the gray
You said at the end that I would be free
It would all be worthwhile
Well we did your way all of those years
and all I got to show is this smile

It's mean and it's a lie and it's a damn good cover
For what's goin' on beneath
You could never know for sure
What's behind these pearly white teeth
You taught me to lie with the best of them
To cheat my way to the top
To steal, to accuse, to damn, and condemn
Until they're begging you to stop

Chorus:
Well you're in my wheelhouse now
Under my command
In my wheelhouse now
And this ship ain't headed for land

You said you were a woman of circumstance
And you couldn't help where you came from
Your fate was determined far in advance
Your only choice was to become
The one who does or the one who is done to
And you made your decision that day
And I thank you for the lessons and your point of view
You're the reason for who I am today

CHORUS

Bridge:
Now I must decide where we go from here
Am I just the product of your petty little fears
When I make a choice is it yours or mine
I can't even see the goddamn line

CHORUS
