4 Brakes 1 Horn
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Use your brakes and not your horn
Try to avoid the wrath and scorn
Why not slow down or try to stop?
Let Jesus put you up on top
Without Him you won’t make it home
Instead you’ll end up all alone
So, let your choice be wise and clear
You’ll only get to make one here
There is no place called Purgatory
Just one wrong move could end your story
Your righteous acts are filthy rags
And Hell will surely be a drag
They’ll throw you in and though you shout
No one will ever pull you out
