North on 35 Date: Saturday, 11th July 2015 @ 04:19:32 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: Beyfoxman5 Headed North on the drive as I approach the 35 I tell you it's not the age it's the miles I've been on the up and on the down, I've been all around I tell you it's not the age it's the miles A year and 9 in the northeast trying to tame winter's beast And only 5 days in my summer's bed Oh the stories that can be told In this two door wheels tread From Amarrillo to Winnepeg  Sleeping on egg crates, but nowhere to put my head A twenty four hour cruise So much time for Jason, Jimmy, Hank, and the blues Headed North on the drive as I approach the 35 I tell you it's not the age it's the miles I've been on the up and on the down, I've been all around I tell you it's not the age it's the miles I've gotten checks from UPS and Williams Ski and Patio But for all their dollars they don't know April 1 rolls around and I get itchin  To get back on the road  From first place to last The miles come and they pass But I give thanks overall To that little white ball Headed North on the drive as I approach the 35 I tell you it's not the age it's the miles I've been on the up and on the down, I've been all around I tell you it's not the age it's the miles From Mississippi to the Great Lakes, to the border of Laredo From feet on snow to the land of Lemurs  And that toothless bartender at the Royal You can bet your ass I've seen her   Headed North on the drive as I approach the 35 I tell you it's not the age it's the miles I've been on the up and on the down, I've been all around I tell you it's not the age it's the miles This poem is Copyright © Beyfoxman5 Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
