Summer Trip

As me and my best friend load the truck,
We leave our worries behind in Myrtle Beach
We pass the 'Now leaving South Caroline' and the 'Now entering North Carolina' sign
We see beaches with kids hunting fireflies
We see cats and dogs sleeping under trees in the cool summer air
As the sun sets over the horizon, we notice the sunset
Heaven is claiming spirits from recent deaths
As morning approaches, we trudge to the shore and look for shark teeth in the shallow water
We see lake Huron and as we're finishing our book and trip we see the sunset behind the Canadian bridge.
We know our long journey to vacation is complete
