I can hear a song and be instantly transported back in time
It always brings a picture to my mind
Sunday night I was watching one of my favorite shows
and a song started playing
Instantly
John and I were pulling out of the Pasquale's parking lot in Birmingham.
That '66 Chevy II engine making the sound that John loved.
The wind blowing my long blonde hair everywhere
and our heads full of all the possibilities of what life had in store for us.
Oh, what a wonderful time,
young and in love,
assuming all your dreams would somehow come true
because we were in love!
Well, life has taught us that all our dreams do not come true.
Thank you
No one needs all their dreams to come true.
We have made a life that is all our own.
Those dreams when you are young and in love
belong to other people.
It's what you see other people do and have.
Now, many of them are very worthwhile and worthy of wanting.
But, this one and only life has been ours to make.
The dreams we made to remember!
Anyway
I do not have a picture of John and I riding down the road
in that Chevy II
so
I found these pictures of us
Yes, we were that young when we got married
One more thought
There is a peace that comes with realizing
that even though we have had many dreams come true,
many wonderful things happened that we never dreamed of,
some of our dreams will never be realized
and
we are perfectly happy anyway!
SO
here is the song
ME and YOU and a DOG named Boo
I remember to this day
The bright red Georgia clay
and how it stuck to the tires, after the Georgia rain
Will power made that old car go
A woman's mind told me that's so
Oh, how I'd wished we were back on the road again
Me and you and a dog named Boo
Traveling and a living off the land
Me and you and a dog named Boo
How I loved being a free man
Now, I can still recall
The wheat field of St. Paul
And the morning we got caught
Robbing from an old hand
Old McDonald he made us work
But then he paid us for what it was worth
Another tank of gas, back on the road again
Me and you and a dog named Boo
Traveling and a living off the land
Me and you and a dog named Boo
How I loved being a free man
Now, I'll never forget the day
We motored stately into big LA
The lights of the city put settling down in my brain
Thought it's only been a month or so
That old car's bugging us to go
We got to get away and get back on the road again
Me and you and a dog named Boo
Traveling and a living off the land
Me and you and a dog named Boo
How I loved being a free man
