"Cruise Control" by Bruce Hornsby
Written by Bruce Hornsby
From the album "Hot House"
RCA Records, 1995

Main Theme: Bb Eb Cm Eb

            Bb                      Gm
It's been a long time coming, this feeling I've got
     F                                    Eb
That things'll always go your way such a long shot
Been so deep in the hole, thought I'd never crawl out
Anything can happen, whoa I know that now
One slip, one fall, a turn of the head can change it all
A step ahead, a step behind, a blink of an eye at the wrong time

Chorus:
Bb                            Eb
North, south, east, and west, spin the wheel and hope for the best
Cm                              Eb
No regrets and it's on we roll, put it in drive and set the cruise control
Walk tall anywhere you go, wheels roll and the whistle will blow
Many miles, oh I may roam, put it in drive and set the cruise control

MAIN THEME X2

He was holding on, he trusted me, then he slipped away
He fell hard and now I've just got myself to blame
When he smiled at me, finally oh I came around
You can't worry, you never know so don't beat yourself down
One step, one fall, a turn of the head can change it all
A step ahead a step behind, a blink of an eye at the wrong time

HORNS AND GUITAR (MAIN THEME X4)

Bridge:
Gm     F               Cm          Eb                 Bb
In my darkest hour my longest day, oh my mind was a prison
Gm       F                 Cm
I could feel it taking me down to stay
Eb
Then I said, "Forget this, it's out of your hands anyway"

North, south, east, and west, spin the wheel and hope for the best
Many miles oh I may roam, put it in drive and set the cruise control
Wheels roll and the whistle will blow, walk tall anywhere you go
No regrets and it's on we roll, put it in drive and set the cruise control

MAIN THEME CHORDS OUT

Outro:
Oh where I go, I just don't know, pick myself up and roll, roll
Up ahead, can't see at all, take it slow, let the cards fall
