Back Seat Blues
He bought himself a tandem In the hope that he would meet A suitable young lady who’d Ride on his back seat. He took it to the Dance Hall But didn’t stand a chance Cycling not seeming to fit in With ideas of modern romance He’d offer one a lift and See her expression slip When handed a bike cape And a pair of...

The Back Seat
When you sit in the front of the car Then you know that wherever you are You can see what’s ahead (If there’s traffic, with dread) And have views that can stretch near and far. But if somehow, you’re stuck in the back Then a sense of perspective you’ll lack. You can stare out the sides Into other folks’ rides Or at scenery codes...

Premium Member Back Seat Boogie
Born in the back of a Buick, The same place I was conceived. My parents didn't have much, But in love they really believed. They drove all over the country, In the Regal of my birth. Whenever they got the chance, They gave it all it was worth. Parked in a vacant lot, Or on the side of the road. At every single rest stop, Made...

Back Seat
We lie back listening to the popping of stars in their pods. I fish for words that are not raw and wriggling. You smoke a spiral staircase. The car keeps swaying in our heads over a shock absorbing silence. I know you are looking through me, searching for love-bones. Sorry....

It's my life, but I always took the back seat Cause I wanted peace & quiet as I enjoy the ride While they all up in my business taking control For they always saw a need to take me on While I always got a hold of my own life I took the back seat, watched them decide Decide most...

A Back Seat With a View
Time to load up the family Dodge and hit the open road. Our backs to California, the wheels rolling east towards the deep south. Arriving by plane wasn’t an option, the car was our only transportation mode. My older brother pulls my hair and a yelp escapes my thin mouth. Our backs to California, the wheels rolling...

The bear tried to explain what he was doing in town But the officer was scared, so he turned him around Slapped on the cuffs and told him to get into the backseat. The bear snapped those cuffs, and ran from the heat. I watched the whole thing. Filmed it with my I-phone. Said I cannot wait to upload this...

‘Do not go too fast’ she said ‘but do not go too slow’ ‘And do not start the car until it's safe for you to go’. ‘Can you see that dog?’ she said ‘and watch out for that cat, And you’re leaning back too far’ she said ‘I don’t like how you’re sat’ ‘And I think it’s going to...

Premium Member The Back Seat of a Chevy
When I was teenboy, nothing else mattered Than making out in the back of a Chevy With a gorgeous young hottie with boobs to die for Breathing became rather heavy Now I'll try to behave coz the censors are watching And your computers will probably short circuit With the powers vested in me, I'll try to behave But it'll be quite a...
