With pedal down and music blaring These speeds I know, quite daring Down the black top road I fly Deep in thought with me myself and I Windows down, the sun is shining Off I go, my car and mind are racing Push my foot closer to the floor I love the thrill, and push some more The wind whiping in my face Takes me to a calmer place And the engines ruble roaring Sends my thoughts out soaring Out here I can leave the past behind With hope the future will be more kind Out here I can ponder and plan What to do, now that Im a single man KM Even in the darkest night, someone will be there holding a candle for you. |

You can always point that car in this direction....this is way cool...love the idea of just leaving it all behind and going road trippin' Ignore those who would clip your wings...fly ever upward...even if it means scorched wings |

Cute....very cute...Loved it..Nothing quite like gettin' in the car and leaving all the "stuff' behind....Even if only for a short time...  The way to love anything is to realize it might be lost. author unknown |

Yeah, I, too, find it necessary to run away and leave it all behind for a while, sometimes. Great images, Keith! sp 'cause I am hanging on every word you say, and, even if you don't want to speak tonight, that's alright, alright with me... |

Ok, Mario, I grew up a half mile from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway so I can relate to this......don't forget to fill up. What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |
