Driving With The Brakes On

Driving With The Brakes On - Del Amitri

Driving through the long night

Trying to figure whos right and whos wrong

Now the kid has gone I sit belted up tight

She sucks on a match light glowing bronze steering on

And I might be more of a man if I stopped this in its tracks

And said come on lets go home but she's got the wheel

And I've got nothing except what I have on

When you're driving with the brakes on

When you're swimming with your boots on

Its hard to say you love someone

And its hard to say you don't

Trying to keep the mood right trying to steer the conversation from

The thing weve done

She shuts up the ashtray and I say its a long way back now hon

She just yawns and we might get lost someplace

So desolate that no one where were from would ever come

But she's got the wheel and I've got to deal from now on

When you're driving with the brakes on

When you're swimming with your boots on

Its hard to say you love someone

And its hard to say you don't

But unless the moon falls tonight unless continents collide

Nothings gonna make me break from her side

When you're driving with the brakes on

When you're swimming with your boots on

Its hard to say you love someone

And its hard to say you don't

Its hard to say you love someone

And its hard to say you don't
