What a day

My car has broke down, but is it done forever?
The sun's heat was mighty today
A price tag for this will cost more than a jacket made of leather
So much on my mind to say

How about a thank you?
For the people who help push my car
To the gas station, it's crazy but true
Thank God it wasn't too far

Shortly afterwards I helped a man
With directions to get back to the highway
I helped him the best I can
Even he offered a ride to help me today

At first I thought I was low on gas
So I put seventeen dollars in the tank
Nearly three quarters full as seconds pass
Then I could not start it, my heart sank

In panic for the second time
Calling my parents again was the only thing to do
Did I push my car too hard?, feeling guilty like I did a crime
Am I dreaming?, this cannot be true

My parents call the auto shop, which was about to close
For my car to be towed away
How much will this cost?, no body really knows
In sadness for now I shall stay

Because I want to see my beautiful girl friend next week
My mind is full of anxiety and fears
The truth and the future I wish to seek
Until it's repaired it will seem like years

I pray to God and hope everything will be ok
To be honest I'm scared to death
Hoping this will all just go away
Every second and every breath

Not everyone is rude on this earth
Society may be crooked but not destroyed
The place we die and witness birth
There are good people out there, even though some are hurt and annoyed
