Who Needs a Map

on one on-ramp, off another,
     getting lost is our fetish.
left turn instead of right, 
     makes the night go faster.
Who needs a map when you've got a full tank of gas!

four brand new tires on a gravel road,
     getting lost is our forte.
toll booths, 
     even more confusion.
Who needs a map when you've got a full tank of gas!

address of the restaurant,
     right exit wrong turn.
one way streets,
     we always need the other direction.
Who needs a map when you've got a full tank of gas!

first date jitters,
     two wrong turns made us miss the first two songs.
wedding night,
     never should have listened to drinking family members.

Getting lost is when we get along the best!!!
