You start slow, all fours
It’s just a track
Y’stand up, under the sun
To tell your stories
Write them
Sell them
You build it straight out and strong
And me?
I read the signs
I take the turns
To push you on
Across the line
Another mile
Against your will
As you create
Bad Weather Road
You see it’s a personal quest
Keeping this truck on track
Steering towards the best
Save or damn me
Passenger on your own
Open against the sky
Flying against the bone
I’ll keep driving
Smooth out your brow
Watch your TV
Stare like a portrait on the wall
You’re listening now
Listening to me
Though you don’t realise at all
And me?
I read the signs
I take the turns
To push you on
Across the line
Another mile
Against your will
As you create —
You see it’s a personal quest
Keeping this truck on track
Steering towards the best
Save or damn me
