Nothin' But The Wheel Lyrics - Patty Loveless

Way on past the boulevards out here underneath the stars 

I've been flying past the houses farms and fields 

Leaving all I know back there rushing through the cold night air 

And holding on to nothin' but the wheel 

Staying clear of the interstate I'm seeking out those old two lanes 

Trying to explain the way I feel 

Till all at once it's half past three and it's down to just the trucks and me 

And I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel 

I've been trying to drive you off my mind 

Maybe that way baby I can leave it all behind 

And 41 goes on and on and the lights go winding in the dawn 

And the sky's the color now of polished steel 

And the only thing I know for sure is if you don't want me anymore 

Then I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel
