Headlights shine through speckled beams driving through the snow
Lucid smells of velvet seats bathed in neon glow
Almost home we’ll be there soon a few more miles to go
In chariots of chrome and steel down the road we go
Sheepskin by the fireplace where sleeping dogs retire
Papers on the porch by dawn the rising sun climbs higher
The sweet sweet smell of pancakes baking coffee’s warming glow
Days create the future path down the road we go
Weekend morning cartoons through time for making plans
Tater salad olive thumbs baskets of the hand
Soda pop and popsicles evening fireworks show
Wash the grass stains off with bleach down the road we go
Waking from this comfort dream the empty nest remains
A brand new life of college dorms and riding subway trains
It’s the next thing on the list practice letting go
Take a giant step aside as down the road they go
You gotta take a giant step aside as down the road they go
