Rubber Meets the Road Songtext
von Steven Curtis Chapman

Do do do do do do do do do

Well, I couldn′t reach the pedals
But I could hold on to the wheel
I was driving in the Indian
My daddy's old mobile
And I took the track back, yeah
And then I took the car out of park
Maybe I was sitting still
But I was driving in my heart
Then one day this young man′s dreams came true
Dad threw the keys to me
Said, "Let's see what you can do, yeah"


Fire up your engine
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, yeah
Rubber meets the road, yeah

Well, I drove about an hour
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, long, long
For me to understand
That the road's a different place
When the wheel is in your hand
You dream it, scheme it, talk about it
Read it in a book
Look where you want to go
Are you going where you look?

Fire up your engine
Come on, let′s go
This is where the rubber meets the road, yeah
It's time to put in motion everything you know, know
This is where the rubber meets the road
Meets the road, yeah
This is where the road meets the road, yeah


Got a Bible on the table
I got five more on my shelf
Got a head half full of knowledge
Far from what I call a wealth
But I know what I do know
Better yet, I know who knows me
And He′s giving us directions
And He's throwing us the keys, say

Fire up your engine
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
Fire up your engine
Come on, let's go
This is where the rubber meets the road
It′s time to put in motion everything you know, know, know
This is where the rubber meets the road
Meets the road
Meets the road
Yeah, yeah
