When ego is at the wheel.

Lyrics

CHORUS:
Am C
Eighteen wheels on a mountain pass
G Em Am
Turns are wild, We're moving way too fast
C D
The driver's blind, or he's lost lost his mind
Am C Am D
And it's a long, long way down

Am G Am G
This truck carries a precious load / It's not diamonds, oil, or gold
Am C G C
The price is high, but it cannot be sold
Am G Am G
It's our freedom, courage, and soul / Mind and heart that keep us whole
Am G C D
This stolen truck is running out of control

CHORUS:
Am C
Eighteen wheels on a mountain pass
G Em Am
Turns are wild, We’re moving way too fast
   C D
The driver's blind, or he's lost lost his mind
   Am C
And it's a long, long way down

Am G Am G
Dark shadow behind the wheel / Shouts out, "I'll make you a deal!
Am C G C
And all you have to do is kneel."
Am G Am G
The driver's brain runs on fear / Voices chattering in his ear
Am G C D
They say, "Take it all or you might disappear"

BRIDGE:
C
How do you stop a runaway truck
   Am
When the driver laughs like he doesn't give a flying...?
C
Down the road, the wheels can't hold
G
Will it take the hand of God?

BREAK: Am G Am G Am G C D
   Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhh

Am G Am G
Some people say it's not too late / But there's no time to hesitate
Am C G C
The moment's here to make our history
Am G Am G
Lord heal our eyes so we can see / And understand with clarity
Am G C D
And then decide who we want to be - Hey hey

CHORUS:
Am C
Eighteen wheels on a mountain pass
G Em Am
Turns are wild, We’re moving way too fast
   C D
The driver's blind, or he's lost lost his mind
   CD
And it's a long way
   CD
It's a long, long way
   Am G C D Am
It's a long, long, long way down
