STEERING WHEEL IS A PRAYER WHEEL
words/music: bill mallonee (admin. BMI 2015)

There ain't nothing like the past to remind you of who you are
There ain't nothing like the present to tell you who you aren't
String band song coming in strong on the AM radio
And the steering wheel is a prayer wheel on the open road

So, I gathered up my winnings & I girded up my loins
Sold my soul in Reno; I bought it back this morn
There's only so much you can freight on your heart's shaky scaffold
And the steering wheel is a prayer wheel on the open road

Now, there's many a man whose crossed himself & then crossed his finger tips
Cast his soul out on the table like it was his last poker chip
Up ahead there is a bridge & it won't bear the load
And the steering wheel is a prayer wheel on the open road

There is only inventory left to take & some history to invent
For a nation forged with guns & lies, flags & rhetoric
There ain't nothing like the past to remind you of who you are
There ain't nothing like the present to tell you who you aren't
After everyone's been bought & everyone's been sold
The steering wheel is a prayer wheel on the open road
