One hand on the wheel 

And the other rolling down the window  

Trying to get a little air 

Every time I see myself 

Looking back through the mirror 

I wonder if someone’s there 

Got a soul that’s running on empty 

Got a heart that's running on fumes 

In a world that wants to run all over you 

 

Ooh pulling me on every side 

Drifting through, lookin’ to stay alive 

Between the lines, I read the signs 

And all I’m trying to do is hold the wheel at ten and two 

Ten and two, ten and two all you gotta do is keep it at ten and two 

There’s a man on the street with a sign 

And he’s trying to save me  

What does he know 

There's a girl leaning into the window 

Of a long black cadillac 

I just turn my head and go on 

We got souls that are runnin on empty 

We got hearts runnin on fumes 

In a world that don’t give a damn for me and you 

 

Ooh pulling me on every side  

Drifting through, lookin’ to stay alive  

Between the lines, I read the signs  

And all I’m trying to do is hold the wheel at ten and two  

Ten and two, ten and two all you gotta do is keep it at ten and two 

Ten and two, ten and two all you gotta do is keep it at ten and two (Repeat) 

 

I try to stay in control 

But I can feel this heartbeat of mine burning 

Dials turning, blood, sweat and tears 

All I think about are things unstable and the webs that tangle me up in fear 

There’s no reason for me to keep head down this road 

But I keep driving, and I keep breathing, and I keep wondering  

Where I’m gonna end up when time’s up and if I’ll win or lose... 

 

Ooh pulling me on every side  

Drifting through, lookin’ to stay alive  

Between the lines, I read the signs  

And all I’m trying to do is hold the wheel at ten and two  

Ten and two, ten and two all you gotta do is keep it at ten and two
