reach in my backback for a light
somebody teach me how to drive
i'm spinning left
i've lost my right

i've lost my right of way
somewhere in back of me
down the interstate
with what should be my fate

*chorus*-----------------------------------------------------------
if there's such a thing
i've learned my lesson too well
now i know that life can
bring a man to lose himself

with both eyes closed
driving way too fast
because i know this road
like the back of my hand

what a perfect way to die
what a stupid way to drive
*chorus*-----------------------------------------------------------

reach in my backpapck for a light
somebody teach me how to drive
smoke with my left
steer with my right

but now both hands are free
and i'm trusting my instincts
to get me home safe before i end up face to face
with what should be my fate

*chorus*

thought i'd never see another sunrise
burn it's way into these eyes of mine
ain't it funny how you have to die
before you really learn just how much you need to be alive

hold on
here i go again
pictures of you
who are my friends

hold on
hold

*chorus*
