driving lesson - don burnham lyrics

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 pa saw how i was champing 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 take your turn”

keep your eyes on the road, hold the wheel at ten and two
cl!ck and tug your seatbelt snug, you’ll live longer if you do
watch your speed, signposts heed
remember when you drive dad’s truck
keep those round black things down and keep that shiny side up

hold her straight, don’t tailgate, smooth and steady as she goes
why the way some numbskulls drive you had best be on your toes
give it gas when you pass, but be careful not to push your luck
keep those round black things down and keep that shiny side up

my best advice is always drive defensive
broken bones and crumpled fenders are expensive!
be alert, don’t get hurt, just remember – safety first
never never drink and drive, you could ride home in a he*rs*
watch your speed, signposts heed
it’s important when you drive dad’s truck
keep those round black things down and keep that shiny side up
now my daughter, who’s a teen, says she wants to learn to drive
and my mind rolls back a million miles which somehow i’ve survived
so when she climbs into the cab and sits here by my side
i’m gonna dust off dad’s old lesson and pray it helps her stay alive

keep your eyes on the road, hold the wheel at ten and two
cl!ck and tug your seatbelt snug, you’ll live longer if you do
watch your speed, signposts heed
most important when you drive dad’s truck
keep those round black things down and keep that shiny side up
keep those round black things down and keep that shiny side up
