Poem Artwork

A brand new driver’s license; she’s ready for the road ahead

Ridin’ around in a Mustang of candy apple red

Sun’s a shinin’, the top’s down; her hair’s blowin’ in the wind

Up and down the roads with her friends

She’s puttin’ the rubber to road

Puttin’ rubber to the road and livin’ her life

 


Just Married signs on the car; she’s ready for the road ahead

Pickin’bits of rice from her veiled head

She’s thrown the bouquet, and ready for married life

They’re takin’ off together as husband and wife

She’s puttin’ the rubber to the road

Puttin’ rubber to the road and livin’ her life

 


With three kids in a new mini-van, she’s ready for the road ahead

Always hurryin’, fast food so they’re fed

Totin’ ‘em to school, football, baseball and swim team

Hootin’ hollerin’ and an occasional scream

She’s puttin’ rubber to the road

Puttin’ rubber to the road and livin’ her life

 


She’s single again after many years; she’s ready for the road ahead

Life alone is something she thought she’d dread

She’s got go juice a plenty; lookin’ for a new life

Enjoyin’ livin’ without all the fussin’ and strife

She’s puttin’ rubber to the road

Puttin’ rubber to the road and livin’ her life

 


With flowers all around her, she’s ready for the road ahead

An empty body, her life on earth has fled

To streets of gold, no more roads on the ground

‘Cause she’s now heaven bound

She’s puttin’ rubber to the road

Puttin’ rubber to the road and livin’ her eternal life
