about

Written as a note-to-self, Stay Behind The Wheel is a female-fronted, alternative folk/rock anthem burnished with country fiddle. The lyrics are full of wit and charm, with an empowering message and an upbeat tempo that’s perfect for any road trip.

Produced by Jamie Candiloro (Ryan Adams, REM, Willie Nelson, Courtney Love) and mastered by Greg Calbi (Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, etc).

Released as part of a series of new single releases scheduled around the cycles of the moon (with a full album planned in 2024).

lyrics

You were made of light and salt
Everything you do is all your fault
So get yourself some coffee and some shades
You’re the only driver now
You’re the one who knows the way

You control the radio
Tune in to what you want to hear
Don’t confuse the windshield
For the rearview mirror

Stay, stay behind the wheel
This is not practice, no, this is real
Your name is signed on the bottom of the deal
So stay behind the wheel

You’ve been a passenger too long
Your trusted driver steered you wrong
So when you’re ready to take back control
There’s a way to anywhere you want to go

Your body is a beautiful machine
So keep your windows open
And keep your engine clean

Stay, stay behind the wheel
This is not practice, no, this is real
Your name is signed on the bottom of the deal
So stay behind the wheel

Stay behind the wheel
Stay behind the wheel
Stay behind the wheel
Stay behind the wheel

Stay, stay behind the wheel
This is not practice, no, this is real
Your name is signed on the bottom of the deal
So stay behind the wheel
