Goodbye, My Love
by Gideon Burton
I trusted you and now it's torn apart:
My happiness, and worse, my trusty truck.
You broke my new transmission and my heart,
And now my cash skeedaddles with my luck.
Oh, Cherry, one part reckless, one divine,
My happiness, and worse, my trusty truck.
You broke my new transmission and my heart,
And now my cash skeedaddles with my luck.
Oh, Cherry, one part reckless, one divine,
you turned my motor once, I do confess,
but how am I to pay your massive fine?
I'm dubious our gears again will mesh.
The wilted pistons are as good as dead,
but how am I to pay your massive fine?
I'm dubious our gears again will mesh.
The wilted pistons are as good as dead,
and so is my affection, dear, it's true:
I picture your sweet face beneath my tread.
These things aren't fixed with kisses and some glue!
I picture your sweet face beneath my tread.
These things aren't fixed with kisses and some glue!
Forget the church, I'm going off to Napa
And as for you and me--it's in the crapper.
And as for you and me--it's in the crapper.

LOL Very fun!
ReplyDeleteI have difficulty believing that you ever actually owned a pickup truck.
ReplyDeleteI, however, grew up in a pickup truck. In my mind, the ones that are falling apart are the best. They look right at home at the auction or the rodeo. And you don't have to worry about them getting dirty as you travel muddy dirt roads. Ah, good times. Thanks for the tangential memories.
