ROLLING THUNDER
Dreaming of rolling thunder
On a clear day sounds the sun
Brings me to my steering thoughts
I sure am having fun
My eyes have seen the glory
On these dotted lines I pass
As pupil scenes are born to teach
My mind’s a happy class
Take me through the chapters
Of this road I call my home
With every mile adventured
How my heart has truly grown
At night I bless the stars above
With compass in my hand
And wake up with a journey’s touch
I live to ride this land
Behind the wheel I’m still growing
A million miles am safe and sound
Showing pride through the love of each quest
As one to another we all share this road
Tis an honor to have you as a guest
The care and arrangements for Timothy Derringer have been entrusted to the caring staff of the Ferguson-Lee Chapel of Thorne-George Family Funeral Homes in Bedford, Indiana.
