Day Trip
By Paul Wilson

Been riding all day long
no particular place to go
Tank full top rolled down
playing name that tune with the radio

Went up to the mountains
parked and watched the sun fall
into the deep blue sea
had myself a ball

Sun going down
Stars coming out
Heading back to town
I had a blowout

Owner said it was a good car
No spare in the trunk
Radio quit working
I call it a piece of junk

No bars on my cell
no cars on the road
Rain pouring down
this place has no zip code

Mosquitoes starting to bite
car top stuck in down mode
Thought about walking
was about ready to explode

Lights coming my way
I hope they stop for me
Driver ask what was wrong
Got a flat & lost the key

I asked if he could push me off the road
He said that would be fine
Tank full & destination empty canyon
off mountain road ninety nine

Michael...Thought you might like this. You should know where mountain road 99 is, it's in your neck of the woods off SR 190 east of San Bernardino...Paul
