Put your hands on the wheel

Let the golden age begin

Let the window down

Feel the moonlight on your skin

Let the desert wind
A E F#m A
Cool your aching head
E F#m
let the weight of the world
A E F#m A
Drift away instead
D A F#m A E F#m
Oh These days I barely get by

It's a treacherous road

With a desolated view

There's distant lights

But here they're far and few

And the sun don't shine

Even when it's day

You gotta drive all night

Just to feel like you're OK

I don't even try
