Marian Doesn'T Drive

Marian gets around just fine Although she prefers to stay home That's where her Heart belongs Never much of one to roam Church on some Sundays The grocery store and a restaurant or two Are the places Marian goes But only when she has to Marian's got her collection of spoons From everywhere everyone else has been And looks up those places in an atlas Puts a little dot there with a pen No, Marian doesn't drive She prefers to stay home It's where her Heart belongs It's where she's never alone Marian doesn't drive Never been on a big ol' jet But she's traveled halfway around the world And isn't quite done yet Marian's Faith, Love, Hope and imagination take her Where no car or plane ever will My Grandma is an inspiration to me From right there in her home on top the hill All the years of Love and Laughter Fill Marians home with memories And keep her company With thoughts of her 8 sons, a daughter and their families No, Marian doesn't drive Never been on a big ol' jet But when she makes her way to Heaven It'll be without one single regret © 2011 Kevin Stock
