The Way To Work
On my GTS 300
Cruisin’ down the Avenue Grand
Got the wind in my hair
And the world on my back
But for 15 minutes I don’t care
I look in the rear-view mirror
But just a momentary glance
For the road ahead is long and clear
And paved with no small plans

On the way to work
I reflect on the days behind
I look at the road ahead
It reminds me that the
Journey is the reason
I get out of bed and work

Driving through an urban forest
35 and the trees have blurred
That’s when I find solutions
To the problems that occur
On the corner of State and Chicago
I’ve begun to disconnect
And see what’s really important
What’s unnecessary stress
And I think about the times in life
To stay and times for moving on
The way to work
I look out at the road ahead
It reminds me that the journey is
The reason I get out of bed
That meditative moment is how I work

Now I won’t be afraid
(Don’t let me do it)
That I’ll make mistakes
One thing I know:
I won’t make it if I don’t try
The world seems to slow
Each morning on the road
That’s all I need to survive

As I ride along thinking 'bout nothing
A thought appears in my mind
The solution to an HR issue
That’s been vexing me for some time

On the way to work
I reflect on the days behind
I look at the road ahead
It reminds me that the
Journey is the way I work
It reminds me of the road ahead
The journey is the reason
I get out of bed
That contemplative moment
It's the way that I work
