Four wheel drive
Bachman Turner Overdrive · Trial By Fire [1996]
Your name is all over the town.
Your reputation is sweeping the nation.
The rumors are bringing me down.
You stand on the tip of my tongue,
I can't get you out of my head.
Theres no syncopation with any relation,
Could it be that there's trouble ahead?
Four wheel drive, four wheel ride, side by side, four wheel drive.
Why dont you try to slow down?
I'm standing at the back of the line.
We made reservations to meet at the station,
My schedule is running behind.
What can I do to survive?
Why am I always abused?
Anticipation of constant frustration;
Can it be that there's any good news?
, four wheel ride, side by side, four wheel drive.
