when was the last time
you jumped smack dab into
the middle of a puddle
or slipped in the mud
and loved every laughing second
as you tried to get up
and slipped back down again
do you remember walking in the
pouring rain
as othes ran for cover
a tea shirt in the bitter cold
washing and waxing your new camaro
baby blue with fire engine red pinstripes
they weren't hub cabs they were
works of art
mags spin like time overturned
drag race a GTO
rev rev rev
blast off
you can't catch me
do you recall
scraping italian ices
watermellon was my favorite
coca-cola was yours
nothing on this fine earth
could match the ecstacy
of the crunchy icy mush sweetened bottom
i've taken a peak at the future
and i saw the last reel
let me be the first to tell you
the ending sux
so i'm going back
to my used to be
wanna come?
