CB+chrome

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/chrome

By describing the road of life as lined with chrome, Carnell is basically saying that as you near the end of your life, you reach the climax of your life. The road gets more defined and easy to follow. It seems brighter and more happy; you don't have to make the critical decisions that you had to when you were young. Rather than being sun dried in the sun, your dreams actually flourish and incorporate into your life.
