Lyrics

I guess I can sometimes
be the fool
When I can’t see
the nose on my face
But I saw that look in your eyes
you were looking right through me
and out the front door
So I got behind the wheel
to lose sight of my blues

Don’t tell me I’m the only one
to ever drive down this lonely road
just to have my engine blow
Seems like everything these days
complain of being a quart low
and squeaky wheels needing grease

And I guess I can sometimes
let things slide
Refuse to see the way things are
But I saw from the hood of my car
a bellowing smoke
in the middle of nowhere
I’d thought of everything
but YOU… and TIME and OIL

Don’t tell me I’m the only one
to ever drive down this lonely road
just to have my engine blow
Seems like everything these days
complain of being a quart low
and of squeaky wheels needing grease

I guess I can sometimes
act so cool
But you could see the road I was on
I thought if you just held tight
I could get it all together
but I needed just a little more time
And I thought that a rain might come
and wash away
all of these troubles of mine

Don’t tell me I’m the only one
To ever drive down this lonely road
just to have my engine blow
Seems like everything these days complain
of being a quart low
and of squeaky wheels
ALL needing grease
