Damn. Now I want to go for a ride...

Something deep and soulful playing....

My head relaxed on the seat, the seat pushed way back and my feet out the window...

Mine was a stang convertable. Less than that probably, but it was worth it for sheer power........*sigh*

I drove in an old T-bird convert once - in college, my cousin came to pick me up and take me to see the family in Philly...

Should have worn a sweater...but I'll never forget that car.

my friends dad used to pile us in his and throw surfboards in the backseat...and drive like a bastard

and he would just slow down and we would dive out...

i bet he drove by the moonlight too...

I can easily see my Dad driving by moonlight. But the surfboards are something different, cause we never had more than 4 ft waves at the beach...

However. I *will* learn to surf before I die.

"no affection" were the words
that stuck on my mind
when she walked out on me
for the very last time

in a cold dirty room
thats where i found myself
with a bottle of wine
and some pills on the shelf

then an angel appeard
she was just 17
in a dirty old gown
and a concious so clean

shes drawn back the life that
i once threw away..."



god i love this album...

coming over the hill with the lights of sin city gleeming in the distance...

Something about driving at night with the right music....

Make you want to sin.

"wont ya scatch my itch
sweet anni ridge
and welcome me back to town

come out on your porch
and ill tell you how it all went down
out with the truckers
and the kickers and the cowboy clowns

and i saw my devil
and i saw my deep blue sea
i thought about a calico bonnett
from cheyenne to tennessee"

Turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
Keep this feelin' alive
Make me lose control
Baby, baby

When I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever's high with the lights down low
So take me over the edge
Make me lose control

We put the top down and park 'neath the moon
in the sky
And the wind is so hot in our hair, like a fire in July
Jennifer's singin' "Stand By Me,"
And she knows every single word by heart
Was love always this good?
Or could this be just the start?



Remarkably applicable, too.
