paroles de chanson Drivers Education - Ray Stevens

This is the story of a driver's education!

Well there was no Driver's Aid program where our kids went to school
I said, "I know Richard Petty, but I'm nobody's fool"
I said, "I don't need to pay someone to teach my son to drive
I'll teach him everything I know, that way he will survive"

So I drove to the country and sat him behind the wheel
But before I handed him the keys, I said
"Now listen, here's the deal: "

There's a whole lot that you need to know
Before you put this thing in gear
He said "Daddy, I know everything!
I've been watching you for years"

On the highways drive as fast as you can
Keep a sharp lookout for the Man
And be careful not to let some fool get ahead of you
Yell at the folks who drive too slow
Blow your horn if they still won't go
"Daddy, now that I'm driving can I use those words you use?"

This is the story of a driver's education
And it really doesn't need much explanation
It's more or less the product of a painful revelation
The story of a driver's education (education!)

I said "Now hold on there a minute, son,
That's not exactly right!"
He said "Oh yeah, I forgot the part
About how you drive at night: "

Always keep your bright lights on
So you can see what's going on
And if those other folks don't like it,
Well they know what they can do
And you can run red lights when no-one's around
And STOP signs only mean SLOW DOWN
"See daddy? I've been watching! I know everything you do."

So I took the wheel and I drove us home
I had a lot to think about
I resisted the temptation several times
To rant and rave and shout
The next day I enrolled our son
In a professional driving school
And they taught him to be an excellent driver,
And I learned a few things too

This is the story of a driver's education
And it really doesn't need much explanation
It's more or less the product of a painful revelation
The story of a driver's education (education!)
