Lyrics
You can look for a new way to smile
reinvent the wheel
something the people will know
by any other name
you can look for the way to go home
side-stepping destiny
Turn the old wheel around
Maybe there's things that you haven't done right
some turn at the crossroads you missed
a star fallin slow that just blazed out of sight
an angel of mercy awaiting a kiss
turn the old wheel around
Got a friend in Nashville
points to be made there
laughs when you tell her you're tired
eights to aces
tell her you've missed her for miles
maybe she knows someone
turn the old wheel around
now that the smoke and the mirrors passed by you
now that just living is just one more mile
maybe ther're lights on ahead that will guide you
and maybe that angel can fly
maybe there's things that you haven't done right
some turn at the crossroads you missed
a star falling slow that just blazed out of sight
angel of mercy awaiting a kiss
turn the old wheel around
