Chillin' in the Slow Lane

Too much rage and anger,

too much speed and guile;

I like driving slowly,

making people smile.

An icon from an era when

youthful voices cried for

giving peace a chance;

making love, not war;

I now make memories shine

on wrinkled, grinning faces;

of roads once traveled,

of long forgotten places.

A peace sign, a thumbs up,

a wave, or happy laughter;

bringing joy to others

is truly what I’m after,

chillin’ in the slow lane.
