The music was on and the windows were down The sun was shining on your face as we drove around And we almost hit a couple seagulls and we were a little too loud But other times it was okay to not make a sound We stopped at Target since you missed your dad's birthday So much for being a "responsible adult" and everything And then you cracked a smile worth writing about and turned the wrong way And even now I have nothing to say But whenever I turn around I expect you to be there And whenever I walk though Target I think of you in a bow tie and suspenders And when someone calls out from the kitchen I imagine it's your voice And then I accept that it's not since I don't really have a choice Because someone put their stamp on you, babe you're spoken for But whenever I think of you, I'll always think of a red bow tie in a superstore

A Red Bow Tie in a Superstore
