Let’s Hit the Road

Let’s Hit the Road

That heavy kind of rainy day,

Let’s roll together you and me,

Since we were teens we’ve been this way,

Let’s hit the road, see what we see.

Too wet to hit your garden spot,

The links are drenched beyond repair,

Forget the chores, we now have got-

To hit the road and see what’s there.

Remembering our first old car,

It spent more time in shop than home,

Afraid to take it very far,

Still hit the road and we would roam.

At night the inner dash went out,

No way to tell how fast we went,

The shocks and tires a constant doubt,

Yet, hit the road ‘til gas was spent.

It’s time to grab my pretty girl,

Kick off your shoes upon the floor,

It’s time to drive and take a whirl,

Let’s hit the road which we adore!
