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

    1. 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.

    2. 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
