Asleep at the wheel

Lyrics

Copyright Ac 2009 Jim Ferrie Music You take a good look around Are you sure you're okay? Are you on the right track? Have you covered your back? Or did you go the wrong way? Something bound to go wrong? What's the chances of that? Is there something you missed When you checked off the list As you were chewin' the fat? Moment of weakness just a little laid-back And out of the light your world turns to black Better be certain as a matter of fact, coz When the deed's done there ain't no turnin' back Devil's in the details, so you better make sure you don't fall Asleep at the wheel Asleep at the wheel Did you care from the start? Busy makin' a buck? Right attitude? Just too smart to get screwed? Are you trustin' to luck? You check one hundred percent? Leavin' nothin' to chance Lies become true Devil slides out of view And you won't see him dance Moment of weakness just a little laid-back And out of the light your world turns to black Better be certain as a matter of fact, coz When the deed's done there ain't no turning back Does your guardian angel fly faster than you're able to drive? (don't fall) Asleep at the wheel Asleep at the wheel Have you ever thought about what it is, who really matters to you? Is the voice in your head the one thing that you dread When it's callin' to you? Don't fall asleep at the wheel! Devil's gonna steal, ain't no deal when you're Asleep at the wheel
