The Road Is (part 9)

Part nine

The road is your first trip on the road

Charleston, Jacksonville, Albany, Pensacola, Cocoa Beach, Key West, Little Rock and Memphis.

The road is a 58 Chevy with a u-haul hitched to the back

The road is north south east and west

The road is a matchbox of reefer, your first black beauty, drums without cases, leaving a small town, being in a town where something’s happening.

Memories of youth, all of your belongings under one arm. Lost love and mistakes, an older women all of 23.

After gig affairs that wouldn’t kill you

Greasy restaurants

Five star dining, eating in the kitchen.

Occasional respect

The road is laughs and fears

Hallucinations

Black and white

Little or no money

A 59 Volkswagen bus

A monkey on owsleys

Two bands one gig in Birmingham

Your gear stolen

The band leader taking most of the money off the top

Waking up in a new state

The union rep at the club to check your card
