Lengthy blueberry skies
splashed with vanilla color
the land is hot and tired
afternoon wind sings and suthers
Roads fuming down Telegraph
every car a speeding thunder
galloping the asphalt laps
on a road cracked and sundered
the houses we\'ll pass, may be poorer than others
through ghetto towns to well-to-do mansions
then we\'ll be on roads with cornfields farther
than our horizon, past our next junction
A long highway, a Detroiters\' living,
long yellow lines slicking all the way down
and radio in sultry tones, wind blowing in
nothing like a sunset drive in Motown.
On a Sunday night with a friend or two
with nothing else to do.
