Defensive Driving — Hugh Ellis Bennett — an original tune for minds, eyes, and ears

— Lyrics —

You drive me through D.C. and down this car-strung road.
Out to the wooded land of Virginia, where the green leaves steadily grow.

The blue tint of the mountains reminds me to breathe.
To take on every moment, on the journey that we both seek.

Defensive driving and rising gas prices. The America that we see.
Our time so unshackled and free, when it's you and me.

Momentary lightness of your touch as we listen to an audiobook.
Craving more and getting none, cause all I need is a look.

I've never seen a Kindle look so good, as it does when it's in between your hands.
So peaceful as you read it on, while we travel across this land.

Defensive driving and rising gas prices. The America that we see.
Our time so unshackled and free, when it's you and me.

Wind howls loud over our tires, pavement falls to the side.
Leaving a town in the dust, never felt so right.

Weary eyes so sore from the sun as we pull off to the side for the night.
I've been waiting all day, for the sleeping bag to hold us tight.

Defensive driving and rising gas prices. The America that we see.
Our time on the road so unshackled and free, when it's you and me.

Defensive driving and rising gas prices. The America that we see.
Our time on the road so unshackled and free, when it's you and me.
