about

I wrote this for my friend about her dad.

lyrics

He hada repuation when he was young and wild
burned gasoline like James Dean with a maritimer smile
But when he got older his lane was changing fast
Still in detention but now he's the teacher sitting in the front of the class
Sometimes it's hard looking back
To pinpoint the moment your life got on track

*Chorus*
He was driving in his cousin's car goin 60 never took that road so slow
Never. had two hands on the wheel when he took that turn before
Checked himself in the rearview mirror and opened the driver's door
Just in time to ask the question she'd been waiting for

You know he's retired now
He's focused on the lawn and on the recycling and on the septic tank
and how the neighbours do it wrong
And though he's know working on 5 o'clock friday night
You better believe you look in his eyes and it's 1979

*CHORUS*

She's been waiting for longer than she'd like
For him to pump the brakes and pull off to the side
