Rubber Meets The Road — текст песни (Steven Curtis Chapman)

Well, I couldn`t reach the pedals, but I could hold on to the wheel
I was driving in the Indy in my Daddy`s Oldsmobile
And I took the checkered flag and never took the car out of park
Maybe I was sitting still, but I was driving in my heart
And then one day this young man`s dreams came true
Dad threw the keys to me and said "let`s see what you can do"

Fire up your engines, come on let`s go
This is where the rubber meets the road
It`s time to put in motion everything you know
This is where the rubber meets the road, meets the road
The rubber meets the road

I was in all of my glory, Dad was in a state of shock
But it didn`t take long for me to understand
That the road`s a different place when the wheel is in your hand
You can dream and scheme and talk about it, read it in a book
Look where you want to go, but are you going where you`ve looked?

I`ve got a Bible on the table, I`ve got 5 more on my shelf
I`ve got a head half full of knowledge far from what I`d call a wealth
But I know what I do know, better yet I know who knows me
