In the Back of a Truck in the Country



The swirling rush
Half-obscures my view
With hair and roaring wind

The smooth liquid Earth-breath
Coats my skin
Manes my hair
And squints my eyes, while

The purpleorange heat-lightning on the horizon
Coaxes
And smirks
And badgers me
For wanting to beat my brother to shotgun

Sam,

Love this poem!

Fond are the days when the kids jumped into the back of our pick-up and headed out for raccoon hunting with their dad, or the swimming hole on hot summer nights.
Remember I have four daughters!!! LOL

The below won't make any sense without the band's video.
See if you notice anything amiss about how the guy in the video effects his enviironment.
Or more correctly, doesn't?
The video is on the above page, Should be the top one "Someday"

Nickelback - "Someday"

How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables

I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
Dont think its too late

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when

Well i hoped that since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a hollywood horror

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
