lyrics

Hands on the Wheel
©Jerry Axson

Standing at the window -
wave goodbye,
I’m going away now,
for a long, long time,
don’t let me see you crying -
it won’t do us no good,
the weight that broke our backs,
won’t let us heal like we should,

if I stay too long in this place...
if I wait too long for you...
I’m afraid I might lose my way -
I’m afraid I might miss my queue...

Hands on the wheel -
eyes on the road,
wind at my back,
I’m carrying a heavy load,
call you when I can -
every chance I get,
whisper my name in your ear,
so you don’t forget...

Lean me up against this wall,
in some “drive-by” town,
I’m so alone in this place,
there’s people all around,
they look right through me,
no, they don’t know my name,
they don’t love me like you do -
and it just don’t feel the same,

if I stay too long in this place...
if I wait too long for you...
I’m afraid I might lose my way -
I’m afraid I might miss my queue...

about

Jerry Axson Columbia, South Carolina

To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
