Story Behind The Song
Looked in the car side mirror one day and read the words there and had an idea for a song!
Song Description
The singer looks in the side mirror on his car but he can't trust what he sees - is it reality. With his eyes off the road ahead he has an accident and he mistrusts that ever so capable surgeon who's undressin his wife with his eyes, knife in hand
What is the true reality- things can be seen from different angles but so what
let's all work together to get through after all we can't trust what's in the mirro. But wait whatg's there in the mirror Oh No! It's the singer!

Lyrics
Verse 1:
I'm lookin' in my sideview mirror
Things are closer than they seem
I see my life slippin' by
Reality cross into dream
I'm lyin' stretched out on the table
I see the surgeon lookin' very able
But I wouldn't trust him with his knife
I see his eves undressin' my wife
Chorus:
What is there to make sense of
This angle of mine
It takes a certain point of view
To see things out of line
Verse:
So it depends where you're sittin'
The passenger's in control
You have your own way of seein'
So easy to miss the goal
So where is it that I'm goin'
Or rather where is it that I've bin?
What's starin' at me in the future?
It's the same damn place
Where I've been
Chorus
Bridge:
So we'll all try to pull together
Get on through whatever the weather
So if I stray to the right the left will pull me back
Till I'm outta sight Yeah
Solo
Chorus
Bridge
Verse 1
Coda:
I'm lookin'in the sideview mirror
I'm lookin' in the sideview mirror
You know what I can see
In that mirror there
Oh God it's me!
