We would wake up early
She would let me drive her
Maroon Crown Victoria LTD
Even though I was only 12

The fancy car had automatic seat controls
I would move it all the way up
And all the way forward
After all, I was only 12

The Skaggs Alpha Beta was 6 blocks away
I would make complete stops at every sign
She would give me a twenty
And I would leave the car running

I selected a 2 liter Pepsi and a dozen doughnuts

We sat at the kitchen table
(Bright white with silver metallic sparkles)
And enjoyed our sugary breakfast
She never mentioned she was diabetic
