Further Than She's Ever Gone


She's never left the valley
Not since I've been with her
The old girl
did better than me today
Hit the bottle hard
the night before
had to beat insomnia for the drive
The 351 modified
purred over the mountains
Ditches filled with schitzo
white tail
Ready to leap
at me in 4th gear
at any instant
Nine bears on the trip
never stopped for a photo
Had to tape the
wiper switch on
As rain fell from
the Alberta sky
Stopped at Storm Mountain Service
on our way home
Bought a couple of
Vermillion Lager
and a V-8
She roared up the hill to
Boom Lake
to suck 'em back
That's when I
grew alive
All comes to life
after a couple a cool ones
