Stall in the Church Lot

by Rue Calloway-Voss

“We used to sneak into the church lot on Sunday nights in my dad's old car. The engine growl you hear is mostly the bass amp.”

Lyrics

Empty lot on Sunday night
Dad's old car, the engine's tight
Clutch is a mystery to me
Left foot shaking like a leaf

Kangaroo hop, one more time
Stall it out and I don't mind
Stars come out above the steeple
Nobody here but me and the gravel

I stall, I stall, I try again
Round and round and round the lot
I stall, I stall, I try again
Learning to go is learning to stop

Mirror, signal, deep breath in
Gentle gas and here we go
Rolling slow across the white lines
Feeling bigger than I know

I stall, I stall, I try again
Round and round and round the lot
I stall, I stall, I try again
Learning to go is learning to stop

One more lap, one more lap
Keys in my hand, the road is mine
One more lap, one more lap
Not so scared this time

I stall, I stall, I try again
Round and round and round the lot
I stall, I stall, I try again
Learning to go is learning to stop

Round and round and round the lot
Learning to go is learning to stop
