Remember the days when we cared for little? And youth, being young meant something. Carefree, having fun and being around friends.
I remember on a Friday night going cruising down Gloster Street in my hometown of Tupelo, MS, riding in the back of an El Camino.
Just riding and having fun hollering at anyone that was going your way or not; our usual stops would be at our local McDonald's or up the street to Sonic. After eating, we would all get back in the cars and run up and down the street again until someone would say, let's meet up at Dunlop Tires parking lot which we would until the police ran us off.
Innocent fun. How I remember those times.
Our talks would be of boys, school, that test we had or would be having but hardly ever about what the future would hold for us; we didn't think that far ahead. For us, the future didn't exist, it was the here and now, young and invincible-- we could do anything and live forever. What did we know, right?
It seems so different now. Innocence is lost. Gone are the days of just riding around and being in that moment; just kids being kids. Those roads still exist, today, in our minds and as we sit and sift through all those memories of the days gone by, we travel to a time so different than today. A time of such innocence. We loved those days. Those days gone by.
