Pilot of the Pontiac
You were the pilot of the Pontiac
Hands upon the wheel
Ten o'clock and two o'clock
Drivin' just by feel
Nighttime on the highway
Kids sleeping in the back
Keep it between the ditches
Only stop for gas
If I close my eyes
I can still remember
Pieces of the things you used to say
If I close my eyes
I can still remember
Things that were just things along the way
You told us about England
India and planes
Dancing through those footless halls of air
Flying was your first love
But it left you changed
Stories left behind and never shared
If I close my eyes
I can still remember
Pieces of the things you used to say
If I close my eyes
I can still remember
Things that were just things along the way
When I look in the mirror
I can see your eyes
I see you in my brother
And in my sister's smile
I hear you in our voices
And in the things we say
I feel you in the choices
I make every day
If I close my eyes
I can still remember
Pieces of the things you used to say
If I close my eyes
I can still remember
Things that were just things along the way
If I close my eyes
I can still remember
Pieces of the things you used to say
If I close my eyes
I can still remember
Things that were just things along the way
Things that were just things along the way
Hands upon the wheel
Ten o'clock and two o'clock
Drivin' just by feel
Nighttime on the highway
Kids sleeping in the back
Keep it between the ditches
Only stop for gas
If I close my eyes
I can still remember
Pieces of the things you used to say
If I close my eyes
I can still remember
Things that were just things along the way
You told us about England
India and planes
Dancing through those footless halls of air
Flying was your first love
But it left you changed
Stories left behind and never shared
If I close my eyes
I can still remember
Pieces of the things you used to say
If I close my eyes
I can still remember
Things that were just things along the way
When I look in the mirror
I can see your eyes
I see you in my brother
And in my sister's smile
I hear you in our voices
And in the things we say
I feel you in the choices
I make every day
If I close my eyes
I can still remember
Pieces of the things you used to say
If I close my eyes
I can still remember
Things that were just things along the way
If I close my eyes
I can still remember
Pieces of the things you used to say
If I close my eyes
I can still remember
Things that were just things along the way
Things that were just things along the way
