Somewhere On Golden Pond

It was a hot summers evening 
With a stringy haired blonde 
Out drinking Tequila on the rocks 
And fishing in Golden Pond 
Someone was playing a guitar 
Someone was singing a song 
Me and that stringy haired girl 
Was trying to sing along 
My Harley was my foot rest 
My head lay upon her breast 
She rocked me with that rhythm 
So peacefully I must confess
Not much more of that evening 
Comes to mind anymore these days 
But I still think about that blonde 
And her wild loving ways 
Sometime during that night  
She quietly slipped away 
But she left me with a memory 
I still carry to this day 
Her hair was long and silky 
Her legs were bless my heart 
And everything else about her 
I wouldn’t know where to start 
My Harley no longer sits in the garage 
But that old hog used to rule the road 
But since that summer evening 
I’ve reaped the seeds I sowed 
Grey hair replaced the black 
Aches and pains rule the day 
And me, my Harley and Blondie 
All have gone a different way 
I heard Blondie was in Spokane 
And that Harley was up for sale 
But I’m too tired to fool with either one 
No more drawing water from that well 
Here’s a salute to that old cycle 
And a thank you to that stringy hair blonde 
And may we all rest in peace 
Somewhere out on Golden Pond
