Driving With The Brakes On Lyrics by Doc Walker

Doc Walker

2006

[Verse]
Driving through the long night
Trying to figure who's right and who's wrong
Now the kid has gone
I sit belted up tight
She sucks on a match light, glowing bronze
Steering on
[Pre-Chorus]
And I might be more of a man
If I stopped this in its tracks and say "come on, let's go home"
But she's got the wheel
And I've got nothing except what I have on
[Chorus]
When you're driving with the brakes on
When you're swimming with your boots on
It's hard to say you love someone
And it's hard to say you don't
[Verse]
Trying to keep the mood right
Trying to steer the conversation from
The thing we've done
She shuts up the ashtray and I say
"It's a long way back now, hon"
And she just yawns
[Pre-Chorus]
And we might get lost someplace so desolate that no one where we're from would ever come
But she's got the wheel
And I've got to deal from now on
[Chorus]
When you're driving with the brakes on
When you're swimming with your boots on
It's hard to say you love someone
And it's hard to say you don't
[Break]
But unless the moon falls tonight, unless continents collide
Nothing's gonna make me break from her side
[Chorus]
'Cause when you're driving with the brakes on
When you're swimming with your boots on
It's hard to say you love someone
And it's hard to say you don't
[Outro]
When you're driving with the brakes on
When you're driving with the brakes on
