Karaoké Driving with the Brakes on Del Amitri

Driving through the long night

Trying to figure who's right and who's 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 a man if I stopped this in its tracks

And said Come on

Let's 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

It's hard to say you love someone

And it's hard to say you don't

Trying to keep the mood right

Trying to steer the conversation from the thing we've done

She shuts up the ashtray

I say It's a long way back now hon

She just yawns

And we might get lost some place

So desolate that no one where we're 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

It's hard to say you love someone

And it's hard to say you don't

But unless the moon falls tonight

Unless continents collide

Nothing's gonna make me break from her side

'Cos when you're driving with the brakes on

When you're swimming with your boots on

It's hard to say you love someone

And it's hard to say you don't

It's hard to say you love someone

And it's hard to say you don't
