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
