On the road again!!!

Yesterday........best day ever........sunny.........HOTT but BREEZY....
Beast and I are out together on our Saturday jaunt.

Beast driving like a Beast on a nice open road.
My mechanics words in my ears, "Take him for a run, he's been sitting for a while, burn off the old gas before refilling. Let me know how it goes."
Windows open (no a/c for me) and I'm feeling happified.
To make it all better an old back-in-time tune from my past playing on the radio.......
My fingers automatically punch the volume up button, my stage is calling to me.
How is it, we don't hear a tune for ages, yet when you hear it, all the words automatically come back to you, so you can sing at the top of your voice without hesitation.
I break into a loud singing.......my body is swaying in my seat, and my head is bopping to the beat.


"I wrote a simple song
With simple words and harmony
Wasn't very long
Before a star, I was bound to be

I didn't care if it made the charts
I only wrote it for you and me
They think they're so smart now
They're not as smart as they want to be

They took my simple song, yes, they did
They changed the words and the melody
Made it all sound wrong, yeah
Now it sounds like a symphony......."

Of course at this symphony part, I'm playing some sort of instrument on the steering wheel as I drive...
 
"Who told them to mess with my
Oh, now, who gave them the right
I wanna know now
That song was personal

Because I wrote it for you
It's yours and mine, girl

I don't care if it
Makes the charts, y'all, no
I only wrote it for you and me

They think they're so smart
Yes, they do
They're not as smart
As they want to be

Who told them to mess with my
Oh, now, who gave them the right
I wanna know
That song was personal

Whoa, I wrote it for you
It's yours and mine

Yeah, yeah, oh, oh..."

  2. I enjoyed your stories about riding the bus, but I guess you missed your car more than I thought :)

    1. It's fun to use public transport sometimes, but I really missed Beast for those weeks, and I was so happy to have him back.
      I think Brownie is glad he's back too, now we can go to the beach.
