Verse 2 (while Riff A)

If I hurt you, leave my hand
It's the hurt that's on your mind

Well the city lights fly by me
As leave my body in my bed
Oh and dreams of you dance trough my head

Verse 3 (while Riff A)

Ehh, those big wheels, red and roll
Even flyin' high and so low
Lord and all the Spanish, ain't as crazy as it seems
Every where they stop and stare
I'm just the stranger through all this road
Oh, I stand alone only in my dreams
