DRIVING LESSON
© 1999 Don Burnham (BMI) Words and Music

I remember long ago I was such a little tyke
I'd zoom all over town on my scooter and my bike
And I dreamed about the day when I finally turned sixteen
And then I'd get the chance to drive my daddy's Ford machine
***
Well my paw saw how I was chomping at the bit to learn to drive
One day he sat me down there in the cab right by his side
He said 'son I see you're anxious but there's just so much to learn
You gotta know some driving basics boy, before you get your turn
***
Keep your eyes on the road
Hold the wheel at ten and two
Click and tug your seatbelt snug
You'll live longer if you do
Watch your speed
Signposts heed
And most important when you drive Dad's truck
Keep those round black things down
And keep that shiny side up
***
