Intro

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.

 And I might be more a man if I stopped this in it's tracks

 And said come on, let's go home. But she's got the wheel.

 And I've got nothing except what I have on.

When you're driving with the brakes on.

 When you're swimming with you're boots on.

 It's hard to say you love someone

 And it's hard to say you don't.

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, hun." And she just yawns.

 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.

When you're driving with the brakes on.

 When you're swimming with you're boots on.

 It's hard to say you love someone

 And it's hard to say you don't.Elec. Gtr./Dist. Tone

 But unless the moon falls tonight,

 unless continents collide.

 Nothing's gonna make me

 break from her side.Acoustic Gtr./Clean Tone

 When you're driving with the brakes on.

 When you're swimming with you're boots on.

 It's hard to say you love someone

 And it's hard to say you don't.
