Gas Station Cheeseburgers
I like gas station cheeseburgers
those red hot burritos too
the sun coming to shine on my back yard
got a woodpecker and squirrel, they think they own the place
i suppose they probably do
like getting high in my basement
listening to David Byrne and John Prine
i like the things that just pop in
yah I think that works just fine
got an old house and two old dogs
we are all rotting together
i like this person I’ve become
i like that I got better
got an old ’78’ K5 blazer
it’s rotting too
but I like the way it rides
please bury me in it when my tickets pulled
baseball cards, vodka and cranberry
a good debate with an opposing side
clock keeps ticking
we can’t do this forever
hop on in
fill it up get some gas station cheeseburgers
couple of faygo’s
it’s a Sunday afternoon and a Michigan summer
I’ve really been itching for a ride








Powerfully penned, Bat. Another excellent write with phenomenal storytelling my friend. Byrne & Prine the good stuff. Speaking of Byrne, I’ve been listening to a lot of Talking Heads lately myself. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.

Byrne is definitely a journey to go on. Thank you
It’s good to see your words again. This was up once on DU, wasn’t it? I remember lovingly the feel and the imagery in it. Takes me back a bit to country life and road trips
Thanks for the read Willow. Yes, it was. Have a wonderful evening
