Longboard

The open road is beckoning

And your minutes tick away

Don’t leave me here to rust in peace

Carpe Diem! Seize the day!

I’ll fill your cup of cheer

And make you new again,

I’ll show you a world of wonder

Your loyal childhood friend

I’ll give you the gift of freedom,

I’ll give you a sense of liberty

When the world is bringing you down

I’ll let you ride on me

I’ll give your face the ashen glow

The spontaneity that you seek,

The fossilized memories of all rides past,

I can smooth out all life's kinks

Through the winding paths and neighborhoods

And through the twisting streets

We make each other whole again,

We set each other free.
