Cruise Control

Another one that never got shared. This was written right after I got my license when I was fifteen.

Flicking on cruise control to keep myself legal.
Maybe I shouldn't drive when I'm mad.
Hoping I could get to take my anger out on something.
Running into a car never seems too bad.

Got to find my way in this world of people like me.
We've got tempers that blow us away.
But I don't care and probably never will.
'Cause lashing out at people seems okay.

So I need to find my cruise control -
Something solid enough to keep me in check.
To slow me down when I seem to go over board
And keep me from doing something I'll regret.

That's why God is my cruise control,
So He can stop me when the time is right.
'Cause without Him watching my every move,
I'd be slamming life's gas pedal with all my might.
