Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah grabs her keys each morning, consultant life awaits
Revenue Agency's watching how she calculates
Every business trip recorded, four details she must track
Date and destination, purpose bringing tax relief back
Kilometres tell the story, odometer never lies
Start of year and finish readings, no room for surprise

[Chorus]
Date, destination, purpose, kilometres driven clean
Odometer readings bookend every fiscal scene
Four pillars hold your mileage deduction standing strong
Miss one piece, CRA will prove your records wrong
Keep it tight, keep it right, every business mile
Documentation saves you from audit's bitter trial

[Verse 2]
MileIQ captures automatically, GPS precision real
Spreadsheet works if discipline keeps every entry sealed
Client meeting downtown Tuesday, workshop Friday afternoon
Consistency builds credibility when tax season blooms
Digital or handwritten, method matters less than truth
Evidence speaks volumes when assessors need the proof

[Chorus]
Date, destination, purpose, kilometres driven clean
Odometer readings bookend every fiscal scene
Four pillars hold your mileage deduction standing strong
Miss one piece, CRA will prove your records wrong
Keep it tight, keep it right, every business mile
Documentation saves you from audit's bitter trial

[Bridge]
January first odometer, December thirty-first
Total business kilometres, personal trips dispersed
Percentage calculation flows from records kept with care
Maintenance, gas, insurance deductions waiting there

[Chorus]
Date, destination, purpose, kilometres driven clean
Odometer readings bookend every fiscal scene
Four pillars hold your mileage deduction standing strong
Miss one piece, CRA will prove your records wrong
Keep it tight, keep it right, every business mile
Documentation saves you from audit's bitter trial

[Outro]
Four requirements, never bend
Tax deductions you'll defend
