Highway Star
Another song we used to do
But also a memory too
An old girlfriend who drove
On the wrong side of a divide
Head on traffic to fear,
Her driving I did chide
And another, without license
Dumb friend let her drive
She drove us up a raised lawn
We were lucky to be alive
Though not unscathed
I lost several front teeth
When my face
Slammed into the front seat
And her face injured
Her confidence was lost
forever more
And her ego's collapse
Oft too much for one to endure
Let's hope your Highway Star,
Is one that shines quite bright,
Illuminating your path,
In the darkest night
And Lord protect you please,
From accident and disease,
And may life be sunny and sweet
And death you long do cheat.
