The sky was blue today and temp in the sixties Zipping around town with the sunroof open Designer shades on, feeling cool doing what I please Dropped the son at work and in my own zen Got my palm tree, Hawaiian....see I'm cool shirt on A Beatles cd in playing " Love,love me do!" Now you gotta admit that's cool....oh come on! Picked up coffee at the local drive-thru What a great day to be alive
Music gives me peace within Sun gives me a shot of melatonin Coffee gives me my caffein The V6...adrenaline that I need Money in my blue denim jeans Blink and you're where I've just been
Moms and prams, teenagers,and taxis everywhere Crest a hill and I can see for twenty miles Red, orange and yellow pastels as I try not to stare Leaves starting to turn as I start to smile Wind in my hair....yah I gotta get a haircut! I remember I gotta put my Green Day cd on Cause i'm a rebel....not just half crazy Life's great on a day like this....out in the sun Maybe I'll stop for a cone or a six pack of wobbly pop What a great day to be alive
Music gives me peace within Sun gives me a shot of melatonin Coffee gives me my caffein The V6...adrenaline that I need Money in my blue denim jeans Blink and you're where I've just been
Yep on day's like this I want to live forever........ I inhale a breath of fresh air and the scent of pine And then a lingering hint of bbq smoke I turn the corner and head Westward into the bright setting sun I stomp the peddle and the car kicks up some dirt from the road Slides a bit and then catapults me forward The cool air from the sunroof catches my oh too long hair And rustles it against my ears As I toe tap to Green Day singing "television dreams of tomorrow" And head into the setting sun shimmering oh so bright I disappear smiling into the abyss of solar light I feel in tune with nature .......and somehow Content
Music gives me peace within Sunshine gives me melatonin Coffee gives me my caffein The V6...adrenaline that I need Money in my blue denim jeans Blink and now I can't be seen!

Hey JG. Hugs. You've got Green Day in your car. Well that's quite an accomplishment! Glad you liked the ride. Was trying to give a sense of movement. Nothing like an exhilerating car ride....wish I still had my motorcycle though! Don't be a stranger JG. Miss your great poetry!
