lets all take a back seat
to the man behind the wheel
let's all dance on two left feet
to the fool who doesn't feel

let's all lie down on the track
and wait for the train to depart
let's all take a back seat
to the emptiness of a heart

cruising down a one way street
going backwards doing 95
one hand on the wheel,
nothing left to feel
in the rear mirror, I'm doing fine

tracking thorough the parking lot
my vehicle I left behind
I bet if this was a truck stop
You'd be pulling 9 to 5

I dealt the cards on the table
face down so we couldn't see
I'm driving my winnings
into the middle of nowhere
I'm the loser, but I'll never be
your enemy

*but I won't let you drive
I'm a gamblin' man
I fall down, on a roll of the dice
but I get back up when I can
don't know where this came from but.... it truly sounds like a country song in my head!!!!
