Well, I couldnt reach the pedals, but I could hold on to the wheel
I was driving in the Indy in my Daddys 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 mans dreams came true
Dad threw the keys to me and said lets see what you can do
Fire up your engines, come on lets go
This is where the rubber meets the road
Its 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 didnt take long for me to understand
That the roads 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 youve looked?
(CHORUS)
Ive got a Bible on the table, Ive got 5 more on my shelf
Ive got a head half full of knowledge far from what Id call a wealth
But I know what I do know, better yet I know who knows me
And Hes given us directions and Hes throwing us the keys, saying . . .
