Radio On

With the radio on while not cruising at a safe speed I pop in my tape not a cd Music playing 'Born to be Wild' hitting repeat, repeat while my hands drum to the fast beat All the windows are down loving the heat the outside air is so sugar and sweet Singing along with 'Steppenwolf' my spirit free of any rules just land, road and a lot of fuel How far will I go only time will tell definitely not looking for any hotel I see the sun setting west just over the mountain crest what a wonderful ride with no life of stress The world is mine I just realized with the radio on I continue to drive With my dogs at my side at last I feel ALIVE!

Oh YEAH Tammy! - This song and 'Magic Carpet Ride' are two of my favorites and bring back SO many great memories, making me long to 'head out on the highway' again...Also, I like the fact that it was a tape and NOT a CD. Thanks for this - Tim
