You see the moon in the mirror tonight

As you put it on to 35 South

You got a lot upon your mind tonight

And so you took a ride to figure it out

The years went by

Like strangers that you might

Have recognized

If they didn't walk away into the waiting night

Don't back down yet;

It'll get brighter

Stand your ground like a veteran figher;

Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now

Don't back down yet;

It'll get brighter

Stand your ground like a veteran figher;

Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now

You see your baby in the stars tonight

As you pull it onto 35 South

You know she wonders where you are tonight

And whether you could ever turn it around

Been awhile

Since you could hold her hand

She's so kind

She smiles and says she understands

Don't back down yet;

It'll get brighter

Stand your ground like a veteran figher;

Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now

Don't back down yet;

It'll get brighter

Stand your ground like a veteran figher;

Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now

Don't back down yet

It'll get brighter

Stand your ground like a veteran figher

Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now

Don't back down yet;

It'll get brighter

Stand your ground like a veteran figher;

Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now

Don't back down yet;

It'll get brighter

Stand your ground like a veteran figher;

Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now

Don't back down yet;

It'll get brighter

Stand your ground like a veteran figher;

Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now
