The song begins
And I somehow
Know every word
The memory
Is pulled like a thread
Long wound tight
And the words flow free
As I sing from my heart
Remembering it all
The drive down a country road
Our windows rolled down
Nestled into you
And we drove
Forever
Going nowhere
Listening to the music
And the night
And each other’s heartbeats
And as I sing the words
I am sixteen again
Forever young
