Driving With The Brakes On Lyrics - Hatful Of Rain: The Best Of Del Amitri - Del Amitri

Driving through the long night trying to figure 

Who's right and who's wrong, now the kid has gone 

I sit belted up tight, she sucks on a match light 

Glowing bronze, steering on 

And I might be more of a man if I stopped this in it's tracks 

And said, "Come on, let's go home" 

But she's got the wheel and I've got nothing 

Except what I have on 

When you're driving with the brakes on 

When you're swimming with your boots on 

It's hard to say you love someone 

And it's hard to say you don't 

Trying to keep the mood right, trying to steer the conversation 

From the thing we've done 

She shuts up the ashtray, and I say "It's a long way back now hon" 

And she just yawns 

And we might get lost someplace so desolate that 

No one where we're from would ever come 

But she's got the wheel and I've got to deal 

From now on 

When you're driving with the brakes on 

When you're swimming with your boots on 

It's hard to say you love someone 

And it's hard to say you don't 

But unless the moon falls tonight 

Unless continents collide 

Nothing's gonna make me 

Break from her side 

'Cause when you're driving with the brakes on 

When you're swimming with your boots on 

It's hard to say you love someone 

And it's hard to say you don't 

It's hard to say you love someone 

And it's hard to say you don't
