HOW TO CHANGE A TIRE




If you come back after five
I will show you
The mechanic said, and did
Never forget to turn on your parking brake
Here’s a rag you can keep he said
Sometimes the roads in summer can burn
Straight through the knees Please
Have a beer
It is getting dark out
And there is so much to learn Yes
Thats good but be careful
Of your hand this much weight
Can slip and crush the body
In a matter of seconds Keep tightening
With the wrench Yes even when it seems
You are finished Yes and again
You can never be too careful
Lower the car
Check the pressure
And listen he said with something
In his voice How about you call me
When you’ve finished your drive
And when I did not the phone rang
And rang And rang
And when I woke the voice
In the messages slurred,
Please all I want
Is to know you are safe.
