My mom thinks it is luck
That she is still alive.
But it was her idea
To teach me how to drive.

She said it would be fun
‘Cause what could be so hard?
When she screamed, “Step on the brake!”
I trashed the neighbor’s yard.

Which one is the stupid brake?
Two pedals sure confuse.
You’d think they’d have them labeled,
So you’d know which one to use.

And all those little letters
There on the gearshift lever,
Whoever made up those things
Sure wasn’t all that clever.

When we stopped at a red light
You should have seen my Mom’s face.
I would have beat that Honda
If the “R” had stood for race.
