painted a picture of
my life
my dreams
enabled me to make sense of this crazy world
is the song I couldn't help but sing along to today
and, in fact, every time I hear that song I go back to (a)
Chevy
two-toned
short bed
that drove my first love to the levy
livin life with no sense of time
the feel of the fifty yard line
a blanket
a girl
some raspberry wine
wishin time would stop right in its tracks
I used to
Rock all night long to "Keep on Rockin Me Baby"
Frat parties
college bars
tryin to impress the ladies
every time I hear that song I go back to
the smell of an old gym floor
the taste of salt on the Carolina shore after graduation
drinking goodbye to friends
watchin summer fade to fall
growing up too fast
wishin time would stop right in its tracks
We all have a song that somehow stamped our lives and takes us to
another place
another time
so I go back to a
pew
preacher
choir singing about
god
brimstone
fire
smell of sunday chicken after church
loss of a real good friend
sixteen years I shared with him
Now "Only the Good Die Young" stops me in my tracks
Every time I hear that song, I go back to (stuff previously mentioned)
