Two door hardtop Chevy Coupe Impala 59
Dad just got home early so we’re going for a drive
Pack a picnic basket, a blanket and some towels
We can beat the traffic if we hit the road right now
Cruising through the gatehouse free pass after five
Heading for the water just as soon as we arrive
Mom will set the table and Dad will tend the coals
Come on in and dry off kids, your food is getting cold
Watching while the sun sets
Out behind the point
Maybe take a ride for some ice cream
Oh Pretty Woman
On the dashboard radio
Miniature golf and trampolines
Alex Calder knockoffs twisting in the cattails by the pond
Dancin’ in the humid ocean breeze
A lighthouse winking at me from somewhere out beyond
A time when life was still a dream
Watching while the moonlight
Mirrored on the sound
Glistens in the gentle salty spray
It’s been a lifetime
Though it seems like yesterday
Another time another place another way
