Windshield - Stewart Eastham

Written by：Stewart Eastham/Long Bar Music

I remember back when you were a child

You were so weary so witty and so wild

I wasn't much more than just a kid myself

I always wished that I could be just like someone else

But wishes don't mean nothing

You can't hold them in your hand

They curl up and blow away like the ashes of a man

I don't know where you're going but I will not hold you back

Put me in your rearview mirror and please don't ever look back

Push the pedal to the floor

I can't be your windshield any more

I made my peace and now you must make yours

Nobody ever wins in a never ending war

I've given you all I can

You have everything that you need

Fire up your engines travel on godspeed

No one knows the happiness that hides in a sad clown

Follow your bliss where it leads wipe away your painted frown

I don't know where you're going but I will not hold you back

Put me in your rearview mirror and please don't ever look back

Push the pedal to the floor

I can't be your windshield any more

These gnarled hands can't hold you anymore

And every day my mind slips a little more

If you get scared just close your eyes and breathe

I'm fading fast and begging you to leave

I don't know where you're going

But I will not hold you back

Put me in your rearview mirror and please don't ever look back

Push the pedal to the floor

I can't be your windshield any more

Push the pedal to the floor

I can't be your windshield any more
