One of my "happy songs." Hope it raises a smile with you.
And since it's Summer, there's a bit of a nod to the Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" here and there...
Enjoy,
bill

lyrics

Two-Finger Wave words & music: bill mallonee
BMI 2016
published by ""Once More, This Time with Feeling" music

You can barely see coming
it'll take you by surprise
A motorist in a slow approach
12 o'clock high

It's a world that we all cruise through
and there's so little left to save
Still, you gotta smile when after all those miles
You get that 2 finger wave

No, i've never ever seen him
But, that's all part of the riddle
Something passed between us
and that white line in the middle

No, i did not get a sermon
a gesture is all he gave
Still, you gotta grin when you make a friend
with that 2 finger-wave

It's a way of building bridges
It's a bond of trust that'll last
2 fingers off the steering wheel
as you go pass

'Cause it's a world that we're all bruised through
come what little, come what may
Still, you gotta smile when it's done in style
that two finger wave

'Cause it's a world that we all cruise through
and there's so little left to save
still you gotta smile when after the miles
you get that 2 finger wave
