You look at the road <br />Wind shuffles the deck <br />In your back pocket <br />You got half a pack <br />Your worn-out Justines <br />Got a pedal to crank, <br />And gamble how far <br />You can get on one tank <br /> <br />So head for the coast <br />The woods or the hills <br />Ride into sunset <br />To see how it feels <br />Leave behind, in the dust <br />What you can’t face <br />Let the cloud of exhaust <br />Hide your fall from grace <br /> <br />So light up that stogie <br />Step on the gas <br />Turn up the volume <br />Point the car West <br />If headlights approach <br />Don’t let them pass <br />Maybe this time <br />You’ll outrun your past <br /> <br />In a nameless dive <br />At the end of your track <br />In the arms of a stranger <br />Or a bottle of Jack <br />You may find an answer <br />To what went wrong <br />And ask a penniless bard <br />Make your tale into song<br /><br />Masha Danevasha<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/road-song/
