Time Machine

1972 Camero Z-28

On my 42nd birthday
I brought myself a time machine a 1972 camero Z-28, deep forest green

Four on the floor, bucket seats and more

for this was the car exactly in every way
I owned back in my high school days

For every last detail on this time machine

had to be perfect if you know what I mean
This what was going to take me back to a time when life was so simple and kind

I even went as far as to buy some eight track tapes

buying the same one I once owned , careful not to make a mistake
For if anything was different in any way shape of form the care may not work right this I was for warned.

Excited and willing to take this big chance, I

dressed myself up in some bell bottom pants
a tie tee shirt and underpants to match

As I told my wife I was taking a ride

out the door I flew in full stride
for this was the moment I was so tense I fired my baby up she was ready to dance

Off into town my baby and I did roar

blasting the tunes of 70s galore
cruising the streets of town U.S.A. life wasn't to exciting for my to stay

something was missing when at last in did click

hell I need to get my good buddy "Dick"
when it came to hell raising we made quite a team so off I went to share in all my dreams

Out in the yard my good buddy did set

grab your wallet and off went
stopping for brewskies and some premium gas faster than you could say jackrabbit we were in a flash

for what direction we had not a clue

but the time machine was headed back to 1972
back to the time where trouble was free and nothing much mattered but love and just me

so cruising down 131 toward my old stomping grounds

it brought us much closer to yesteryears sweet sounds
of days long past and buried in my mind a peaceful loving wonderful time

Looking for my driveway I pulled in so many times before

now sets a burger king those memories are lost forevermore
lets go find our party spot high on sunrise hill surely that has to exist there still

pulling into sunrise hill much to our surprise

sets a group of condos, three stories high
bewildered and somewhat troubled I put my baby into gear gravel smoke tires burning as we left the scene

surely something has to have remained the same

I once again burned my tires till they smoked
started feeling better as we talked of old times completely reliving those memories in our minds

as we left our old stomping grounds

I glanced over to see a tear in Dicks eyes
What's the matter good buddy Oh nothing just a little dust I surmise

As I dropped off dick at his home

He turned and smiled lets do this again sometime
So I drove my time machine off Back into my own time
