Singing in the car

Singing in the car

Always made him mad

He’d switch the station

Turn up the volume — 

Those angry asshats 

On WTAM

Always scowling, always hating, 

He’s just road raging 

Shutting down 

My light 

Helpless, helpless 

You don’t realize 

You’re a firefly in a jar— 

Given a few air holes 

Blind to the world 

Beyond the glass

Now the lid is off 

I’m flying

Singing Springsteen 

And CSN

Singing all the songs 

He hated

Carry on ‘cause 

Love is coming

And it’s a peaceful, easy feeling 

That won’t be wasted on the way

I left that town 

Of losers 

Windows down

Good bye to his 

Whining 

And to Air Supply and 10cc

I’m feeling strong— 

And I’m already gone

Jumping a little lighter 

Dancing in the dark
