Rubber Meets The Road Lyrics - Chapman Steven Curtis

Well, I couldn't reach the pedals, but I could hold onto the wheel 

I was driving in the Indy in my Daddy's Oldsmobile 

And I took the checkered flag and never took the car out of park 

Maybe I was sitting still, but I was driving in my heart 

And then one day this young man's dream came true 

Dad threw the keys to me and said "let's see what you can do" 

Fire up your engines, come on let's go 

This is where the rubber meets the road 

It's time to put in motion everything you know 

This is where the rubber meets the road, meets the road 

The rubber meets the road 

Well, I drove about an hour and finally made it around the block 

I was in all of my glory, Dad was in a state of shock 

But it didn't take long for me to understand 

That the road's a different place when the wheel is in your hand 

You can dream and scheme and talk about it, read it in a book 

Look where you want to go, but are you going where you've looked? 

I've got a Bible on the table, I've got 5 more on my shelf 

I've got a head half full of knowledge far from what I'd call a wealth 

But I know what I do know, better yet I know who knows me 

And He's given us directions and He's throwing us the keys saying...
