On the Road Lyrics
You said I was a back seat driver
You said I was the road-map reader
You said I was the driving licence
On the road
You said I was the hand-brake
You said I was the glove compartment
On the road

Just amazing! (:
in concur. another song i could hear on repeat several times easily. soothing and stirring at once.
makes no sense to me, but i love it!
Well in one sense the singer becomes less and less an active partipant "on the road" (maybe a relatioonship or life metaphor?) First he is at least a taking an active interest in driving. Then merely giving left or right directions the simply the means which allow one to drive. The comes a schism. the handbrake. Stopping driving alltogether. (driving again maybe being life or a relationship). His last role is as a glove compartment closed off andd not an interactive component or enabler of driving at all. Or so i gather.
