Lyrics
Empty road on Sunday morning Daddy gives the keys to me Hands on the wheel, my heart is racing Sit up straight, he says, easy Clutch is tricky, gear is stubborn Engine coughs and stalls again He just laughs and he says softly Try again, try again Daddy teach me, slow and steady Daddy teach me, I am ready Passenger seat, a patient smile Daddy teach me, mile by mile Round the corner by the river Sunlight dancing on the glass Now I'm driving, he is quiet Sweet old Sunday, let it last Daddy teach me, slow and steady Daddy teach me, I am ready Passenger seat, a patient smile Daddy teach me, mile by mile Now I drive and he is far But I hear him in the car Easy now, and mind the bend Love is the road that has no end Daddy teach me, slow and steady Daddy teach me, I am ready Passenger seat, a patient smile Daddy teach me, mile by mile Mile by mile Mile by mile
