Holding out, take it on the chin.  You’re life will start soon

Holding out, for it to begin.  And so you will bloom

Baby’s go a new set of wheels and she’s waiting to drive away

Baby’s got a new set of wheels… today

Watch the road, steady as you go.  The car feels heavy

And where it leads, neither of us know, but we’ll pay the levy

Baby’s got the world at her feet and she’s waiting to pick it up

Baby’s got the world as her feet.  Her overflowing cup

The winter winds are cold and cruel they make you want to hide

But they’re cleansing if you’d only take a step outside

And take the reigns and whip and crack and set your soul in flight

And carry on where ‘er it leads, ride all through the night

Don’t slow down, putting in the miles.  You’ll get there faster

And watch the frowns turning into smiles.  And soon there’s laughter

Baby’s got the wind at her heels and it’s pushing her on her way

Baby’s got the wind at her heels and it’s telling her not to stay

Yesterday’s gone today’s instead, it’s who we are not who we were

A thousand roads lay out ahead, and I’ll drive every one with her
