Cruise Control

It's been a long time coming

This feeling I've got

Things'll always go your way

Such a long shot

Been so deep in the hole

Thought I'd never crawl out

Anything can happen, whoa

I know that now

One slip, one fall

A turn of the head can change it all

A step ahead, a step behind

A blink of an eye at the wrong time

North, south, east and west

Spin the wheel and hope for the best

No regrets and it's on we roll

Put it in drive and set the cruise control

Walk tall and away you go

Wheels roll and the whistle will blow

Many miles, oh, I may roam

Put it in drive and set the cruise control

He was holding on, he trusted me

Then he slipped away

He fell hard and now

I've just got myself to blame

When he smiled at me

Finally, oh, I came around

You can't worry, you never know

So don't beat yourself down

One slip, one fall

A turn of the head can change it all

A step ahead, a step behind

A blink of an eye at the wrong time

North, south, east and west

Spin the wheel and hope for the best

No regrets and it's on we roll

Put it in drive and set the cruise control

Walk tall and away you go

Wheels roll and the whistle will blow

Many miles, oh, I may roam

Put it in drive and set the cruise control

In my darkest hour, my longest day

Oh, my mind was a prison

I could feel it taking me down to stay

Then I said, "Forget this

It's out of your hands anyway"

North, south, east and west

Spin the wheel and hope for the best

Many miles, oh, I may roam

Put it in drive and set the cruise control

Wheels roll and the whistle will blow

Walk tall and away you go

No regrets and it's on we roll

Put it in drive and set the cruise control

Put it in drive and set the cruise control

Oh, where I go I just don't know

Pick myself up and roll, roll

Up ahead can't see it all

Take it slow, let the cards fall
