Diane Drives the Red Bug

Turn up the radio, in her red Bug she rolls

a Diet Pepsi in hand, laughter letting go

Four little ones she raised, with a twinkle in her eye

Now granddaughters circle ‘round, chasing fireflies

Lewis and Maggie by her feet, tails wagging too

Not even five feet tall but she always breaks through

Lessons in every story, she never puts ‘em down

Even in her golden years, she’s the talk of the town

Oh Diane, you superstar, grooving through the haze

Captain of the classroom, sunshine in our days

With every mile she drives, in colors wild and free

Happy Mother’s Day, from your crazy loving family

Chalk dust on her fingers, teaching never fades

She’s spinning tales of wonder, magic in her ways

Her son Casey, apple of her curious heart

Between them sweet secrets, they’ll never drift apart

Tiny in her shadow, yet she stands so tall

Every kid and puppy answers Diane’s call

She’s a jukebox in springtime, she’s the love in our home

Never missed a moment, never danced alone

Oh Diane, you superstar, grooving through the haze

Captain of the classroom, sunshine in our days

With every mile she drives, in colors wild and free

Happy Mother’s Day, from your crazy loving family

Let the paisley dreams surround you, flowers in your hair

Windows down, sweet freedom, we see you everywhere

Twirling through the decades, love’s kaleidoscope

You’re the ripple on the river, our anchor and our hope

Oh Diane, you superstar, grooving through the haze

Captain of the classroom, sunshine in our days

With every mile she drives, in colors wild and free

Happy Mother’s Day, from your crazy loving familyDrive on, Diane, our sunshine on four wheels

Short in stature, strong as steel

Our best mother, the legend—so real
