The Road I Drive

It is simple and plain A few potholes along the way It is West Virginia that’s to be expected It is a road just like any other Divided into two lanes One way takes me away For work For daily life occurrences For a weekend getaway I know this road well I drive it every day I know it bends I know its dips I know where I want to pretend it is a race track There are days when I forget I am driving and end safely at my destination anyway Up hills Down hollers In-between the mountains Is the road I drive And it will always bring me back home No matter where it takes me
