Route 66

by John D. Berry


 

Driving, driving,

Down night highways

With high beams,

And shooting stars.

 

Thirst,

Heads me for

That roadside,

Truck stop dinner.

 

There,

There you are,

Dark hair,

And bright eyes.

 

You are

The nearest thing to heaven

That I've seen

So far.

 

Won't you

Meet me out

In the Dark

Tonight.

 

Driving, driving,

Down night highways,

With an angel,

And shooting stars.
