Pedal To The Metal

 

Chasing the rays of the sun

At the invincible age

We never consider how

How long the run will be,

How many seasons will see

Us spin our special charms,

Jolted now and then by a

Carefree reckless friend biting

The bullet far too soon,

A hint of maybe an end

As old, old relatives take

Their leave, but that is

Light years past the bend,

The snow and surf are here

My dear and the road

Was made for pedal to

The metal.
