From the recording THE EDGE OF SOMEWHERE
Lyrics
BEHIND THE WHEEL<br />
<br />
You were always so far above me;<br />
Said it would bring you down to love me.<br />
Never once thought to throw me a rope,<br />
Not even one single thread of hope.<br />
<br />
Orange and silver were your colors,<br />
Words I couldn’t find any rhymes for.<br />
You shopped for pearls, diamonds, and furs;<br />
Dropped me off at the local dime store.<br />
<br />
Can I get a witness?<br />
Can I get you to confess?<br />
Can I get a witness?<br />
Who’s to blame for all this mess?<br />
<br />
You were the one behind the wheel,<br />
While I had to beg, borrow, and steal.<br />
<br />
You never thought I could climb this high;<br />
Thought I was a real down-to-earth guy.<br />
Well, I’ve grown a lot since you left me<br />
Stranded at the edge of the Dead Sea.<br />
<br />
Now, I’m here on the same cloud as you,<br />
And I can tell it feels crowded too.<br />
Well, I should tell you, “Don’t let the vapors hit you<br />
Back there where the Good Lord split you.”<br />
<br />
Can I get a witness?<br />
Can I get you to confess?<br />
Can I get a witness?<br />
Who’s to blame for all this mess?<br />
<br />
Now, I’m the one who’s behind the wheel <br />
Of this car I didn’t have to steal.<br />
<br />
