Hawaii Volvo

Hawaii Volvo

Hawaii Volvo, a phrase

Created in younger days

Why? Who knows,

It sounded good to me

Whenever I'd see

Those rare Volvos driving down the road

Saying it to myself....saying I'll never forget it.

Didn't even watch Hawaii Five O

Just heard of it,

The type of cars not usually seen

At that time you know what I mean.

On the long haul with my truck driving Dad

One of very few routes we ever traveled together,

Hauling Clearly Canadian, racing the looky loos

His cb handle bottle rocket mine scooby doo.

Learning the lingo, asking if he'd honk the air horn

Telling me to watch out for smoky bears

As for lot lizards boy your warned.

Make sure not to hit alligators on the road (blown tires)

Comedians is what they called the roads center dividers.

We'd sing songs like on top of old smoky

Talk all through state lines,

Along the way even till this day

Memories of a younger me keep us connected

Whenever that certain car is close

I say to myself, "Hawaii Volvo."

Thank you T, figured I pour some of myself into a write that of a good childhood memory out of so few. I actually enjoyed and had a good time writing this. Devon land That's funny but I find that a mysterious place at times full of curve balls I don't even know im bound to throw them. Glad you came with me and pop on the long haul T. Much love and respect for you brother.
