I got one foot on the pedal
My hand is on the driving wheel
And I don't know who is in the driver's seat
But he sure does look like me.
And he ain't gonna stop driving til I
Get back, back up on my feet.
I done broke a mirror
Seven years bad luck and a bloody hand.
But I'd rather bleed for nothing
Than to not know who I am
If I put it back together,
I might not know who is in there looking back.
I found a new hole this morning
In the bottom of my leather boot
But I've been wearing them for years
And I do not let others walk inside my shoes.
Makes me think there's someone else
Looking through the same eyes that I look through.
