Sometimes I think of our loveas though it’s an old Southern backroadYou’re in the driver’s seatmy feet are on the dashThe roads are curvy and dictate our speedsometimes we take them slow, sometimes fastAt times they’re the straightest pathwith fields of corn on either sideThere are moments of fearbut also moments of pure joyThose old Southern backroadscan go on forever, with no end in sightMany times you ride those roadswith your most trusted companionThose Southern backroads are an adventure like none otherand it’s only you I want by my side.(Photo by Studio Dekorasyon on Unsplash)
