Default 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.

Default Yawn

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