The open road

Humans are pack animals and you can witness it on the highway

Too afraid to break from expected behavior such as driving the speed limit

Or turning on your lights in bad weather

The lone shepard in the middle of the highway

Driving his run down '67 Cadillac with every window open

So as to let every breeze he passes caress his wild hair until the sun's orange rays finally peek over the hills

And spills into the rear view

 

Sputtering down the highway at a pace

That only he is comfortable going

Hitting every *** hole, every bump in the road

Acknowledging every piece of trash that litters the roadside wondering

Why no one else can break from tradition

And merely enjoy the open road
