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
