lyrics

Steerin’ Wheel
©2016JTSMusic SESAC

Now when life gets to be
An uphill climb
And everything you do
Ain't worth five hundred dimes

When all your friends don’t know
Who you are anymore
Remember change is good
As your walking out the door

The memories remain
Some clearly in a haze
And the office is a drag
It’s always one of those days

You broke your finger nail
Tryin’ to unlock your frozen car
And something in the heavens
Has eclipsed your lucky star

Let me be the seatbelts that keep you buckled in
When you are flippin’ out and the heartaches begin
When you feel your wires are crossing let me be your ground
Let me be the steerin’ wheel that turns your life around

Love can let you down
And love can lift you up
It’s like an elevator roller coaster
Till it’s stuck

Try not to worry darlin’
Try not to scream
Just keep on rowing merrily
Life is but a dream

Let me be the seatbelts that keep you buckled in
When you are flippin’ out and the heartaches begin
When you feel your wires are crossing let me be your ground
Let me be the steerin’ wheel that turns your life around
