The Lyrics
[Verse] Down on the cracked asphalt of seventy-second street You gripped the vinyl seat while I found my feet I was wobbling hard on two spinning chrome rings Waiting for the gravity to do its thing You ran beside me till your lungs turned to fire Pushing a trembling kid to aim a little higher When you finally let go and the wind hit my face I learned that staying upright is a steady kind of grace
[Pre-Chorus] The dust settles down on the miles we have chased But the print of your hand can never be erased
[Chorus] Oh Dad you are the steady hand upon the wheel Turning the rust into something we can feel You are the anchor in the Chicago rain The light on the tracks through the joy and the pain Yeah you taught me how to stand and how to roll With a little bit of grit and a whole lot of soul
[Verse] The scent of oil and old cedar filled the air In that garage where we stripped the engines bare You had the wrench in hand and a record on the deck Solving the puzzles hidden under the hood or the neck Between the blues riffs and the hum of the light You showed me how the gears have to mesh just right Nothing was ever truly broken beyond repair As long as the spirit and the patience were there
[Chorus] Oh Dad you are the steady hand upon the wheel Turning the rust into something we can feel You are the anchor in the Chicago rain The light on the tracks through the joy and the pain Yeah you taught me how to stand and how to roll With a little bit of grit and a whole lot of soul
[Chorus] Oh Dad you are the steady hand upon the wheel Turning the rust into something we can feel You are the anchor in the Chicago rain The light on the tracks through the joy and the pain Yeah you taught me how to stand and how to roll With a little bit of grit and a whole lot of soul
