Tommy and I and the two dogs are off on our annual road trip tomorrow. One last day of work and then a night of packing the Ford Escape for what may be our final trip across the country. I thought I'd show where we have been so far.
This map shows our routes over the past number of years. In it, we show that we have hit 48 states and 7 provinces of Canada with many National Parks along the way.
This trip, we head towards North Dakota to finish the Continental US, down to the midwest towards Detroit and Toronto, over to Listuguj in NB, down to MA & Provincetown, back to Chicago to follow Route 66 back to CA. The final stop will be the ferris wheel on Santa Monica Pier.
Come along for the drive as Tom insists I blog live rather than the standard recap I often do.
VERSE 1
Ripped Jeans, only drinks whiskey
I find him by the fire while his girl was getting friskey, ohh
I say we go this road tonight
He smiles, his arms around her
but his eyes are holdin me, just a captive to his wonder, ohh
I say we go this road tonight
PRE-CHORUS
now I know that that's your girl, I mean no disrespect
The way that shirt hugs you chest boy, I just won't forget
I'll be sittin her, drinking my whiskey
I won't say goodnight unless I think ya might miss me, ohh
CHORUS
Be my All-American boy tonight
where everyday's the 4th of July
and its alright, alright
And we can keep this up till the morning light
and you can hold me deep in your eyes
and its alright, alright
be my, be my
my All-American boy
VERSE 2
Ripped jeans, tight shirt
he lights a cigarette you know I'm glad that she can't stand it, ohh
I drink the moonlight from his eyes
Now hold there, just a moment
I want to take this in now we don't need no photo of it, no
we should go this road tonight
PRECHURS 2

BRIDGE:
Of all the girls and boys to look my way
Ain't no body ever hit me this way

and lay with me a while
I'm gonna wrestle you out of them clothes,
leave that beautiful body exposed,
and you can have my heart and my soul and my body...
just be mine
GUITAR SOLO
DOWN CHORUS
Be my All-American boy tonight

CHORUS
Be my All-American boy tonight

And we can keep this up till the morning light
and you can hold me deep in your eyes
and its alright, alright
