Notes About The Poem

Sometimes, when there's nothing else to do, you just have to pick up and go. Even if it's just going out to nowhere...which could be an awesome place to be!

Heading Out To Nowhere

I was driving down the parkway 
I went to take a ride 
The radio was blasting 
Had my woman by my side 

We were heading out to nowhere 
Because there was nowhere else to go 
So we drove until the sun set 
And the moon began to glow
 
We pulled into this rest-stop 
So that we could catch a break 
Where the mountain tops were resting 
Their shadows on the lake 

The stars were out in numbers 
Like pinholes in the sky 
When we noticed a bright shooting star 
That just went flashing by 

Then we gave some love and kicked back 
Until we opened up our eyes 
Early the next morning 
When the sun began to rise 

Then we headed out to nowhere 
Feeling all safe and sound 
Until we reached our destination 
Which was nowhere to be found

An enigmatic poem, a place not to be found anywhere. But it tickled my curiosity. A fine poem.
