In My Car
.
Soaring across open roads
Telephone poles racing by
Free as a bird
Gliding over an ocean of blacktop
.
With music pounding through my brain
I find an escape
No one can hear me
As my lungs burst with song
.
No one to please but myself
I am in control
Can take myself anywhere
Over grassy hills and sandy plains
.
The world spins around me
As I careen around the dusty roads
Seemingly still
Yet moving at an alarming rate
.
Soon I'll reach my destination
The journey will be over
Yet its memory will remain
And its magic reborn on the way home
