Making the trip on this long road  
Knowing the destination is many miles away  
Trying to survive the journey the best I can  
Grasping the wheel at ten and two  
Making sure to keep my mind focused  
Realizing one mistake can end it all  
Seeing what Ive seen and knowing what I know  
Can steer me straight along the dashed line  
But also could leave me stranded and alone  
Through all the planning and the prep  
You can never know what lies ahead  
All you can do is hold on and ride it out
