Joe Gardner
1972 C10
Looking at a picture
of you
Tomorrow so far away
Long memories lead my
mind astray
Plans of a future
together on the road
Chasing the wind
The radio singing
those old travelling songs
Solid 70s gold
Keeping tune with the
singing of the tires
Eating the miles up
one after another
Right arm across the
bench seat
Around my girl
Left arm crooked out
the window
Holding the wheel
A cigarette smoldering
in my lip
Speedometer holding a
steady seventy
On the 91 highway on a
Saturday
Heading back to the
beach
Following the route
My father used to
commute
To pull oil from the
wells
Down in Signal Hill
And Venice Beach
Back when this old
pick up
Rolled off the
assembly line new
