Driving To The La Side Poem by BRUCE MARTONE

NOW ME AND MY GIRL PACK UP
THE OLD DODGE
WITH ARE GUITARS IN THE BACK
AND ARE DREAMS IN FRONT
WHILE MY BABY DRIVES
DOWN TO THE WEST COAST
TO THE LA SIDE NOT SURE WHEN WILL ARRIVE
BUT I HEAR IT'S A GREAT WAY TO START
CAUSE BACK HERE IN THE NY WAY
WE WERE FALLEN APART
BECAUSE ARE DREAMS GOT CRUSHED
THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS MY DADDY SAID
BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE ALOT
SOMEONE IS ALWAYS TRYING TO TAKE IT AWAY
BUT WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE ALOT
THAN THERE ISN'T MUCH TO LOSE
AND NOBODY WANTS TO TAKE IT AWAY
BUT WE STILL HAD TO BELIEVE THAT SOME DAY
THE SONGS WE WROTE WILL KEEP US ALIVE
AND HOPING THAT SOMEONE WILL SIGN US OUT THERE
IF THEY DON'T THAN WILL LEAVE COMING BACK HERE
BUT AT LEAST WE CAN SAY WE TRY
WHILE WE DRIVE BACK IN ARE OLD DODGE
NOT KNOWING WHEN WILL ARRIVE
