The Ride
She stepped inside my ‘49
And took that ride with me
Graveled roads life untold
To see what we might see
No fear or doubt just speed ahead
The curves are passing fast
Her crazy eyes, they don’t lie
But will this memory last
At sixty-five we took the curve
As gravel flies through the air
Fishtail ruts tested our guts
As the wind blew both our hair
Excitement bore her name that day
She never forgot at all
She wears my ring upon that string
As each of her defenses fall
Tonight’s the night we tell ourselves
Let go and let’s have fun
Another ride, no where to hide
As the gas pedal I do gun
Those days now gone by
Some memories stay behind
But for us to see some old history
Was just a test of time
Those roads got paved, we both moved along
I get back there now and again
But me and her and those graveled curves
Remind me of where I’ve been
