To Louisville Posted on December 5, 2012 by acupofsongwriting Gunna roll on down to Louisville Out on those Indiana roads Might get in by one or two But who the hell really knows – We just go and go and flow And the wheels roll and fill the night full The winter grasses while the evening dashes From the height of day to the lull of night – Now and then a passer by Will procure a hand or a gestured sigh For we have a bit to go and no way to know How the night will go and the other folk – Passing signs and dotted lines These are the signs that we are getting there There to Louisville on a crooked path Around in Indy is where we will make our dash – The night slowly laps against the wind on her side We ride it steady and true and pray through the night She keeps me safe and my lover alongside So warm and cozy she has made this long ride – Soft silky breeze on a humid winter night You don’t see this often but it feels quite alright Shocks that rattle and wheels that jitter This old car still has it in her – Incandescent lit gas stops that’s where she rests To grab a small drink She swerves and curves yet never quite wavers Safety is first – got to spend money to save her – But now the bridges we pass we are getting quite close As the night creeks on that when she rattles the most Now she is silent a cruise she is on But with every sharp sound she still rumbles on – A path she will find even in the cold of winter Its easy to say she is not a pretty winner We stop for dinner and pull right over To Louisville we will be before night is over – Siri calls out with a voice that is commanding You are 5 minutes away from the land where you’re landing The night is late now and I hope to rest even However driving this car has got my head reeving – Sun is long passed expired and the black is everywhere I step out of the vessel into the night cold air Tonight she did well My eyes applaud her with a glance over my shoulder Share this: Click to share on X (Opens in new window) X Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Like Loading...
