“I've driven a million miles,

My rig has seen better days,

I know it's tough to park it,

But today we must part ways.

There comes a day,

When we all must face,

It's time we must move on.

I'll be waiting in the rest stop,

It's not far from the road.

I've driven my last miles,

I've delivered my last load.

Life is one big highway,

Lots of potholes along the way.

I've tired of the highway,

I parked my rig today.

Don't cry that I'm not with you,

For there is a way to share.

Look in your rear view mirror.

I'm in your sight right there.”
