Friday Night
I had a pocket full of cash on a Friday night. There was a party at the lake house after the fight. It was a TKO in the very first round and the bottle ran dry when it came around So I split to the party for a little more brew I found me a girl and laughed with the crew. Till the hour got late and it was time to go. Tommy said, stay and have a cup of joe. You ain't in any shape to be driving a car. You can spend the night, I don't live far. Well the scene got ugly when he asked for my keys. I punched out Tommy and he sank to his knees. I stumbled to the car and cranked up my ride And shot out the drive on a power slide, down the dirt road and around the turn. my tires were spinning, you could smell em burn. I took the curve just a little too wide and met a car head on with my driver's side. There was a bang, a jolt, the crush of steel, Blood and glass and an eerie squeal as we slammed to a stop up against a rail. I looked in the eyes of a face gone pale. as her body bled out and she began to fade. I recognized Sally from the seventh grade. |
