Me and My Mustang

As I wake up to the sunrise

A thought comes to my mind 

Let's take the old girl out and head out for a drive

I've got my comfy jeans on, and old T-shirt and my denim vest

I press down the throttle on the good old girl

Set the mirror down low

then we head on West

Where my old Mustang and I go nobody knows

I just throw my favorite music on

and let the wind blow

The old Mustang follows the roads to no mans lands

And my mind wanders to a million places 

Difficult to understand

How did we end up here?

What does it mean?

Is it anything at all?

Me and my old Mustang have time travelled

At one with the stars

In the dusty old desert and the canyon lands

Where the canyon lands blows

Where we are now

As my heart skips a beat nobody knows.

But we are not alone as lay on the hood of my Old Mustang

I gain perspective by the stars above

Those ancient familiar things

I see Orion, Venus, The dippers and The Milky Way

So vast and mesmerizing then a comet shoots by

As if to show me the way

Even the Earth sits on an axis

It's ok to live off kilter

perfection is ground zero in too many ways

Time to head on home girl

The ancients whisper to me 

And I feel the quiet solidarity

Me and my old Mustang

I tilt the rearview mirror down

See a trail of dust following us as we hit the road

A favorite song plays thumping on those speakers

Over the Mustang radio

I drum on the steering wheel 

And see the sun come up over the Mountain tops

Me and my old Mustang have enjoyed the ride

We don't plan to stop

Give me music and an open road

Let's see where it goes

Me and my old Mustang

She's like my best friend at times when I'm feeling alone

But I her her every stitch and faded patina

Even the scratches and dents

She knows mine too

We don't mind that's just how friendship is

Me and my old Mustang
