reach in my backback for a light

somebody teach me how to drive

i'm spinning left

i've lost my right



i've lost my right of way

somewhere in back of me

down the interstate

with what should be my fate



*chorus*-----------------------------------------------------------

if there's such a thing

i've learned my lesson too well

now i know that life can

bring a man to lose himself



with both eyes closed

driving way too fast

because i know this road

like the back of my hand



what a perfect way to die

what a stupid way to drive

*chorus*-----------------------------------------------------------



reach in my backpapck for a light

somebody teach me how to drive

smoke with my left

steer with my right



but now both hands are free

and i'm trusting my instincts

to get me home safe before i end up face to face

with what should be my fate



*chorus*



thought i'd never see another sunrise

burn it's way into these eyes of mine

ain't it funny how you have to die

before you really learn just how much you need to be alive



hold on

here i go again

pictures of you

who are my friends



hold on

hold



*chorus*
