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*
