Do-Over
Driver, this car’s been flying down highways straight and true, but we’ve run off them anyway, got bruises and dents and even given some too. Now the road’s started winding, drop-offs on either side, pistons smoking, tired of stroking, so jam it into reverse, no matter if you strip the gears, let’s see if we try real hard we can make up for all those years, pound out the dents, paint over the scratches, put ice on bruises and bumps, so driver, swing it around this curve, please, slow it down, turn it around, there’s still time left to break our date with Thelma and Louise.
