If life is a highway,
We are the cars,
Losing our way,
And chasing the stars.
Every turn comes,
But we speed by,
Ingore traffic cones,
And enjoy the ride.
Then later we find,
No excuses or fuel,
We're caught in a grind,
In a world that is cruel.
We lived in the moment,
We passed a red light,
But this car was for rent,
Due home late last night.
You chose the stick,
You must have been ill,
If your parents see this,
You'll be roadkill.
Problems covered up,
By a branch and thicket,
Hey, with some luck,
You won't get a ticket.
Too late to u-turn,
The exaust pipe is leaking,
Everyone's heard:
Kid, what were you thinking?
Homeward you're towed,
You haven't been good,
But they'll never know,
What's under your hood.
But you've learned a lesson,
Say that you'll switch gears,
No more racing profession,
This time you're all ears.
You followed the signs,
Stop, yeild, and turn,
Your girl gives a sigh,
As the engine purrs.
Your transmition's new,
The fluid's been changed,
You've got a spare, too,
You're all rearranged.
Life is a highway,
And gas costs a dime,
Cause the girl is all yours,
And the driver is mine.
