An Ode To Battered Back Roads

highways have lost their novelty give me those battered back roads i will take those unexpected twists and turns i will enjoy scenes of dilapidated houses and abandoned general stores let me have a creek, river, or part of a bigger lake include with that a wild animal sighting and a bunch of different types of trees i am alright....and perhaps getting older....but what's age got to do with personal choice i just have a newly appreciated zest for a laid back type of drive i just may stop and get me an apple i just may take myself a break and eat a peach i just may even open up my mind enough to grab some peanuts if arrows point to a park, i just may make it my rest stop actually, i really need to stop at one of those old gas stations i have a taste for a cold blue cream soda and some vinegar and salt potato chips yeah, you can get them anywhere, but it just does not have that same feel highways have lost their mass appeal lead me on, oh my beautiful, wonderful battered back roads you have inspired the love infinity within me
