Take a right on mainstreet
And turn into unfamiliar territory once again
Pops always said take it like a man
Like a man I took it
Into this dark, unclear space I rode into, with a can-do attitude
Letting nothing block my path
Staying two steps ahead, avoiding any set backs
I had a place to be
Commitments to fulfill
Promises to not be broken
Flying on by in that cherry red convertible
Dragging a stream of color behind it, brightening up the place a bit
Suddenly came a bump in the road
The life pulled out of my tires and spit into this strange abyss
The dangers surrounding the safety of my little red car made me think for but a moment
Do I ignore my promises, and head home, out of the danger?
Or be a man, and revitalize Old Red
Men never turn back, physically or on a promise
And a man I choose to be
