Untitled

It's a comfortable smile
And faded blue jeans
A walk to nowhere
Serenaded by the chirping of crickets

It's risking being caught
For the best view of the stars
And knowing whatever happens
Will be an adventure

It's nobody else for miles around
And my feet out the window
Of a beat up Chevy truck
Driving just to escape the world

It's closing my eyes
And seeing
If only for an instant
The dirt road to the creek
Wheat fields
The smell of Alfalfa
Bill bailing our hay

It's pillow fights
And laughing until I collapse
Gaining breath to begin all over again

It's an unexpected kiss in the moonlight
And wondering where it might lead
Feeling strong arms
Refusing to think any further than right now

It's a trip to ice cream alley
After a day at the lake
And rambling in the mountains
Because we've nothing better to do

It's about those moments
When I don't have to long for freedom
Because I'm living it
