Running down those country roads
We were sixteen, free and alone
Didn’t care what life had in store for us
Just singing the songs of our own
Where did those children go
They spread their wings and flew away
I lost track of them so long ago
If only I could go back to those days
I would not worry about the hypocrites
Or all the other ne’er-do-well
They should have followed their own advice
As far as I can tell
But we listened to all of their lies
Instead of letting our hearts sing
I watched the sunrise fade from your eyes
And now I know what the future brings

Oh, the memories your poems stir up in me, Jerry.
And where did the time go?! I still feel like a 20-year-old in my heart and mind.

Maybe that’s what my wife meant the other day when she asked me if I was ever going to grow up.
