Destination: Home By The Weekend

Wave goodbye to the gated community While fumbling for a CD The perfect road trip song To steer you back to me And gather up your stories Stuffed in suitcase Waiting to spill unto my table New tires, oil change, GPS coordinates First stop, a birthday greeting At Debbie's door And check on Robert's mending wrist Leaving behind your sun tan Only to reprise it on the Isle of Long From which you stayed away too long Cross the bridges, pay the tolls The ribbon of the L.I.E. unfolds By Saturday you can don your Derby hat Rest in Julie's sofa and place your bet I await in the winner's circle With roses upon your return
