Road trip

tallisman

We were friends when we left our home streets

When we first set off down that track

So we started sitting in the front seats

But finished spending time in the back

We had decided to go on a road trip

From John O’Groats to Lands End

We had never intended a courtship

We thought we were just good friends

We’d been neighbours since we children

You were the girl next door

I don’t remember a time when

We’ve never been friends for sure

But somehow spending this time together

Just talking the day away

Well I could do this forever

I’m glad you feel the same way

I think by the time the trip ends

Our families will get the shock of their life

We started this trip as just friends

And came back as husband and wife!

    What a wonderful story within the poem. I thoroughly enjoyed it, loves young dream ! The only reason I can see for wantig to be turning back the clock would be to start your journey at Lands End, stopping off at Gretna Green to wed over the anvil, on your way to completing your journey to John'O Groats !
