“Hands on the Wheel” is and unabashed love song. It’s based on “O'er the Waves”, found earlier on the album, and written by Juventino Rosas. In his story of The Red Headed Stranger, the song shows that there was redemption for the Stranger. It was found in the eyes and heart of a woman.
This is the...
[Verse 1]
At a time when the world seems to be spinnin'
Hopelessly out of control
There's deceivers, and believers, and old in-betweeners
That seem to have no place to go
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, it's the same old song, it's right and it's wrong
And living is just something that I do
And with no place to hide, I looked in your eyes
And I found myself in you
[Chorus]
I looked to the stars
Tried all of the bars
And I've nearly gone up in smoke
Now my hand's on the wheel
I've something that's real
And I feel like I'm going home
[Verse 2]
And in the shade of an oak down by the river
Sat an old man and a boy
Setting sail, spinning tales and fishing for whales
With a lady they both enjoy
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, it's the same damn tune
It's the man in the moon
It's the way that I feel about you
And with no place to hide
I looked in your eyes
And I found myself in you
[Chorus]
And I looked to the stars
Tried all of the bars
And I've nearly gone up in smoke
Now my hand's on the wheel
I've something that's real
And I feel like I'm going home
