lyrics

Backseat Driver
©1997 Alice Bierhorst/BMI

If you got everything that you wanted
Would you cry in your sleep
And linger over the good old days
When you were free to live inside your mind?

If you suddenly came
To the light at the end of the tunnel
Would you turn around, make your way back to the dark
And find a comfort in the nothing that you used to be?

CHORUS
BACKSEAT DRIVER
BACKSEAT DRIVER
You love the road
But you just can't take the wheel

If you dropped the ball and no one stooped to offer
Would you burn the last bridge, make your way back to the dark
And create timeless works of beauty
That no one ever sees

If you carry the weight of the world everyday
When you squint at the sun you'll see nothing but grey
And tell your tales of woe
To a dwindling audience

CHORUS
CHORUS
