Ask the Man Behind the Wheel

Lyrics

He's been driving thirty years through the rain and the sun
Seen the brides and the bakers and the lost and the done
Every fare has a story and he keeps them all
Like coins in the dashboard that rattle and fall

So ask the man behind the wheel
Where the city hides its heart
He'll tell you every corner
And he'll tell you where to start
Every road has a story
Every stranger has a name
Ask the man behind the wheel
And you'll never ride the same

A girl in a gown on her way to a stage
A man with a suitcase and a letter to page
A mother with a baby who finally slept
And the driver turned the radio low and kept

So ask the man behind the wheel
Where the city hides its heart
He'll tell you every corner
And he'll tell you where to start
Every road has a story
Every stranger has a name
Ask the man behind the wheel
And you'll never ride the same

Lights go green and lights go red
Somebody's laughing in the back
There's a whole wide world in a little car
Down every winding track

So ask the man behind the wheel
Where the city hides its heart
He'll tell you every corner
And he'll tell you where to start
Every road has a story
Every stranger has a name
Ask the man behind the wheel
And you'll never ride the same

Drive on, drive on, tell us another one
Drive on, drive on, till the morning sun
