so on my days off i drive
so on my days off i drive
eatin' up the miles
swallowin' 'em whole
tasting nothing
looking for the real
the authentic
maybe a last best place
behind
the next limestone bluff
the next mesquite flat
the next blue prairie
vista
or perhaps
just a good spot
to stop for a smoke
and study the clouds
before retracing my steps
back to you
