Student Driver Lyrics

Two hands on the wheel of my fate
Sweat running down my forehead
Cars passing me like we're in a race
I don't know what danger lies ahead

Cause I'm just a student driver
And I need your help to guide me
Cause on my own I'm nothing

Looks like the road ahead might be rough to take
Oh no, I've spun out of control
Good thing my passenger has a brake
And he knows exactly where to go

Cause I'm just a student driver
And I need your help to guide me
Cause on my own I'm nothing

Now my right wheel is wobbling off
And my stereo is blown
But because I'm a student driver
This car is not my own

Cause I'm just a student driver
And I need your help to guide me
Cause on my own I'm nothing

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Well, might as well comment on this one to, since I commented on almost all the others, lol! I like this song to, we are just like a student driver, we need some assistance (from God!) in this life that we are "driving", but when we mess up ("Now my right wheel is wobbling off, And my stereo is blown"), God is there is help ("This car is not my own"...this life is not my own, it's Gods'!). Anyways, that's my interpretation..also did you know that the title of thier CD (All Gas, no brake) means full speed ahead..I read that on thier website..lol!

Sometimes we need god to help us, this was written to remind someone and everyone else that life as a christian can still be fun.

its like. when youre driving with a driving instructor. and you do something stupid. but the instructor slams on his set of breaks.

God is the driving instructor, so even when you do something super stupid, God will be there to pull you out of it.

Sort of a new take on the "Jesus is my copilot" thing. Very clever and great instrumentally!
