I Want [4-4-07]

I want those country roads that we drove on in a flurry of snow,

My parents talking about moving out of the city,

As they followed timidly behind us.

I want to ride shotgun and hold your thick callused hand,

While we sing to Jason Aldean.

I want that love we had,

As we drove your monstrous red Chevy

To your grandmother’s farm,

Where you said, one day, we’d raise our children.
