Well, I couldnīt reach the pedals, but I could hold on to the wheel
I was driving in the Indy in my Daddyīs Oldsmobile
And I took the checkered flag and never took the car out of park
Maybe I was sitting still, but I was driving in my heart
And then one day this young manīs dreams came true
Dad threw the keys to me and said letīs see what you can do
Fire up your engines, come on letīs go
This is where the rubber meets the road
Itīs time to put in motion everything you know
This is where the rubber meets the road, meets the road
The rubber meets the road
Well, I drove about an hour and finally made it around the block
I was in all of my glory, Dad was in a state of shock
But it didnīt take long for me to understand
That the roadīs a different place when the wheel is in your hand
You can dream and scheme and talk about it, read it in a book
Look where you want to go, but are you going where youīve looked?
(CHORUS)
Iīve got a Bible on the table, Iīve got 5 more on my shelf
Iīve got a head half full of knowledge far from what Iīd call a wealth
But I know what I do know, better yet I know who knows me
And Heīs given us directions and Heīs throwing us the keys, saying
