6 hour drive
We peel back the layers
Comfortable in forced conversation
We discover ourselves
We share intimate details
Of scenarios we endured
How we felt and what it meant
When we were our younger selves
Best stop for fuel and an iced coffee
Holding hands going 113ks
Have you read the lyrics to this song
Music tastes and kid problems
The trials and tribulations
We share
Our personalities spark and caress
As the landscapes slide past
No need for a mask with the wife
On a 6 hour drive
Destination
She got her nails done
I bought a T-shirt
We drive home... 3 hours to go
Predictions and speculation
Wonderment and ecstatic ideas
Sporadic rains from skies with pictures
Caravans and trucks... B - triples
Jewels fall from our lips as we talk
A conversation we've never had
A depth new to us both
Wondering how the other will react
In stride the banter dances
Flowing and ebbing on cruise control
Finally arrive and we sit in the drive
To conclude our newly made memory
We embrace like new friends
We fall in love again
Having the moment only we know
Only we will ever experience
6 hour drive

Having the moment only we know
Only we will ever experience
6 hour drive
The long drive with the wife, just to get out.
If you try to know the person you love, you may find out so much more about them, just don't forget to share.
