STEERING WHEEL Music/lyrics: bill mallonee

The 4 corners play of light upon the earth
and the sky is as new as a birth
Circle back to try and get you feel
the world is as big & as round as a steering wheel

could have been a call you answered one fateful day
or maybe not, but you showed up here anyway
you got to the table just in time to deal
& the world is as big & round as a steering wheel

It was a card game with rules hard to understand
and ain’t it just like God to disguise his hand
and every face but his seemed made of steel
& the world is as big & round as a steering wheel

(Bridge)
flippin’ through an old dashboard radio
but the song of love never showed
a tuned out world’s gone numb and sad
you’ll just have to write your own

4 corners play of light upon your face
you're a heart of wonder all wrapped up in lace
excuse me babe, while I have a taste
rocking in your arms just outside Santa fe

two hearts are like snake eyes when cast
upon a table where all flags fly at half-mast
your treasure, well it’s one I’ll never steal.
& the world is as big & round as a steering wheel
