My Sunday Trips
By Paul Wilson

The trips were long and hot
(I remember them well)

Sunday trips to grandma's
car windows rolled half down
trying to catch a breeze
on a hot August day

Dust filled my nostrils
as we bounced along
the washboard road
in our fifty four chevy

Dinner and playing
hide and seek till dark
enjoyed by us kids

Ya'll be nice and you'll get
a special treat from grandma
she use to say

Turn the crank
but not too fast
ice cream's almost done

Falling down we'd skin our knees
grandma would dry our tears
and doctor it for us

Momma would call
come on boys
it's time to go
Please Momma we'd say
can we stay
just a little longer

Grandma would give us each a hug and kiss
and whisper in our ear
mind your momma now boys
and come back next Sunday

We would cry and fuss
as we rode away
looking out the rear window
of that fifty four Chevrolet

I wish she could have stayed
a little longer
and I wouldn't have
too shed these tears
