Wisdom from David

FOUR-LANE DANCE by David Wilcox

The driver right in front of me is making a mistake

He's stopping on the entrance ramp, waiting for his break

The more he hits his brake, the bigger break he's going to need

When a little break is plenty if he'd just been up to speed

So I say move and you'll have your place

Don't sit waiting on the human race

Just go, you got your chance

You can't be timid in the four-lane dance

Oh and now he's got it parked there and he's

looking back behind

Pleading out the window, hoping someone might be

kind enough

To stop and wait and hold the traffic flow

And still he's not quite confident there's room

for him to go

So I say move and you'll have your place

Don't sit waiting on the human race

Just go, you got your chance

You can't be timid in the four-lane dance

The freeway's just a lesson in the way you drive your dream

If you think you'll never make it, well than

that's the way it seems

But if you thought that it'd be easy, well then easy it would be

Why just a foot between the bumpers has been room enough for me

So I say move and you'll have your place

Don't sit waiting on the human race

Just go, you got your chance

You can't be timid in the four-lane dance

back in the day # onward and upward
