Dead Plate

The engine roars
Will it go far this time?
Oil is dripping
Will it survive the ride?

Foot to the floor
Is he lingering near?
The former owner
Who now rests beyond here

Memories linger in the motor's roar
This is the car whose owner's here no more
Another face in the rearview mirror
This is the car whose owner's here no more

So many highways
Still calling out your name
The wide horizon
Where sky and road look the same

The moment's come now
Just hit the gas and fly
The asphalt's waiting
With stories passing by

Memories linger in the motor's roar
This is the car whose owner's here no more
Another face in the rearview mirror
This is the car whose owner's here no more
