dancing on the tailgate

 Full moon

Staring through clouds

Watching the world

In dead silence

Primal from the beginning

Eerie glow peeking just so

Telling an eternal story

Reminder of how small we are

Keeping all our secrets

Stonewalling the inquisitor

Reflecting hostility

Telling us how real life can be

Distractions between exits

Living in a country song

A small town where I am from

Showing all who I am

Where everything is a cliché

Seasons come and seasons go

Nothing stays the same

Reunions with casket in the middle

Remembering the good times

Partying at the springs

Sneaking into the bar

She was two years older

And knew everyone of our names

Whispered come back when you’re alone

Hanging out at the fire pit

She would dance on the tailgate

Ran into her the other day

Looking beautiful without any shame

She asked one simple question

Are you alone?

Full moon

Staring through clouds

Watching the world

In dead silence

Primal from the beginning

We danced on the tailgate

Listening to that old country song
