Freeway Something is dying here tonight creeping up Highway 101 in the dagger moonlight we scatter like autumn leaves we, the midnight magicians and the forty thieves are we in the understanding of this tremendous crash landing heartbreak nonwithstanding, we will rise in stormy skies and ride on Somewhere in the ruins of you there is a heartbeat much too scared to move but just take my trembling wing we'll case this town and get drunk on everything and find ourselves in debt in places we haven't been yet oh no sorrow, no don't regret we can rise in Montana skies and glide on Freeway, roll on past a firebird dawn where the embers of night smolder where we won't feel so much older tell me there's nothing in our way no speed limit signs down that long freeway line Somebody take me to heart piece together whatever hope I've torn apart I've cut myself on the shards of the broken love I for which I fell so hard but down a snakeskin road I will carry a heavy, heavy load fly straight and true to my code rise in the morning, and fly yeah fly on Freeway, roll away, 1969 Chevrolet go hit that pedal straight on through to where the sun will find us in bloom please tell me there is a perfect sunray to light up everyone down that long freeway run Now with sweet music on the radio and a pretty little blossom that I know then maybe baby we can make the turnpike through this torrential rain and what pleasures there is to find beyond that freeway fastlane oh heartache on the wane Freeway, roll on like a freedom song I sang for all our dreams to come true with a couple of friends we once knew oh just tell me that it's gonna be okay we'll find our way somehow down that long stretch of Colorado freeway now oh deliver me now Oh when all hearts beat, they beat together, but still we're all alone until we admit, yeah we can atone and way yonder down that freeway, where darkness roams, I'm coming home yeah I'm coming home "Don't mistake paradise for a pair of long legs." -Watts, Some Kind of Wonderful |

Wow...this is my day to be blasted back to my past...another Highway 101 poem... and it comes across like a song. What was your inspiration for this piece? " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |
