Well, I couldn´t reach the pedals, but I could hold on to the wheel
I was driving in the Indy in my Daddy´s 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 man´s dreams came true
Dad threw the keys to me and said let´s see what you can do

Fire up your engines, come on let´s go
This is where the rubber meets the road
It´s 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 didn´t take long for me to understand
That the road´s 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 you´ve looked?
(CHORUS)
I´ve got a Bible on the table, I´ve got 5 more on my shelf
I´ve got a head half full of knowledge far from what I´d call a wealth
But I know what I do know, better yet I know who knows me
And He´s given us directions and He´s throwing us the keys, saying . . .
