The Old Days....
This poem came from a drive through the area I used to live in, at dusk and seeing some of my old street race haunts. Life is different now.
Duster Memories Driving a back road can make time fly Make it all come back to your mind As time goes by the good comes first Eventually you can't remember the worst Sunsets were different out here When I was young with little fear Breezy trees and fresh mown hay Even snowy winter had a special way Big cams and dual exhaust Tires spinning forget the cost Slam into second with a joyous squeal I am invincible in my killer wheels Spend my paycheck on some new parts To increase the pumping of my heart This car is all in the world I've got Top end 135 i've never been caught Cruise all night cranking tunes Alice In Chains or Sabbath blues Moving slowly from light to light Smoking Chevs when the time is right Mustangs easy pickings tonight Plastic and stripes, just hype Racing in the city is kinda stupid 0n the streets is just how we did it Now I own a house, I have a wife Hot Mopars no longer my way of life Things are better and I'm not so angry Realize things that are important to me But I long for the shop in the country The days of a car taking all my money The howl of a small block in the night Driving to the city to race light to light I know I could never do that again Make an old Duster my very best friend Cars are now just a hobby for me Finding time for them a problem indeed I now think of Danger on the street Instead of just refusing defeat I know my new way of thinking is right But I'd love smoke that Chev from this light. |

Yawn
Sounds like another victim of Marriage.
I had a wonderful wife that hated Musclecars and irresponsibility. She had to go! |
