gear head I am<\/p>\n
love muscle cars<\/p>\n
i do<\/p>\n
My Dad would<\/p>\n
dragrace in Riverside<\/p>\n
we were Colored<\/p>\n
in those days<\/p>\n
memories of my<\/p>\n
Mom looking like<\/p>\n
Dorothy Dandridge<\/p>\n
in Jackie O glasses<\/p>\n
us eating a crusty<\/p>\n
hotdog and orange<\/p>\n
bottled pop<\/p>\n
Uncle Bailey standing by<\/p>\n
Momma smoking Kools<\/p>\n
sis and bro in tow on his hood<\/p>\n
Daddy flying down the strip!<\/p>\n
Red,red,yellow,yellow,<\/p>\n
pause, GREEN !!!<\/p>\n
Roaring engines<\/p>\n
mountains of smoke<\/p>\n
and the sun setting….<\/p>\n
Another Saturday night<\/p>\n
Momma had enough<\/p>\n
of blown engines<\/p>\n
your girls are half blind<\/p>\n
Glasses<\/p>\n
his dreams<\/p>\n
Three little kids and a wife<\/p>\n
Muscle cars still turn<\/p>\n
