When I'm past the boulevards Out here underneath the stars I've been flyin' past the houses, farms and fields Leavin' all I know, back home Rushin' through the cold night air I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel Stayin' clear of the interstates I'm seekin' out these old two lanes And tryin' to explain the way I feel 'Til all at once it's half past three And it's down to the trust and me And I'm holdin' on to nothing but the wheel I've been trying to drive you off my mind Let it that way be, I can leave it all behind An' 41 goes on and on And the lights go winding in the dawn And the sky's the color now of polished steel An' the only think I know for sure You don't want me anymore Then I'm holdin' on to nothing but the wheel I've been trying to drive you off my mind An' let it that way baby, I can leave it all behind And the only thing I know for sure Is that you don't want me anymore An' I'm holdin' on to nothing but the wheel An' I'm holdin' on to nothing but the wheel Gettin' down old 41 An' 41 takes me on and on An' the lights go winding in the dawn An' I'm holdin' on in the corner, yeah I'm holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on An' the only thing I know for sure Is you don't want me anymore An' I'm holding on to nothin' but the wheel
