Dry River Road

I sometimes try to write stories conveying specific feelings or emotions.

Dry River Road

 

She said he went down to Dry River Road

Lookin for something to do

It’s a long road

And work is scarce

And the money is too.

 

Standing in the doorway

And nervous as hell

She didn’t quite know how to proceed

I held out my hand

With a hundred dollar bill

She took it and I turned to leave

 

 She said he went down to Dry River Road

Lookin for something to do

It’s a long road

And work is scarce

And the money is too.

 

I remembered back a few years ago

When she was laying by my side

Breathing hard and weak from passion

Love is not something to hide.

 

She said he went down to Dry River Road

Lookin for nothing to do

I turned and gazed

At her standing there

She was the best girl I knew.

 

How long is that road?

Is he ever coming back?

She smiled and she placed

A kiss on my neck.

I remember that day, one year ago

I’m lucky he never came back.

 

She said he went down to Dry River Road

Lookin for someone to do.

Timing is everything--you must have been in the right place and time when all this began--you win. A very nice poetic story; it has much character and intrigue. What a dummy he was to wander off looking for someone to do! Thanks for sharing, Dayvid.

I can see it all play out on screen...Dry River Road sounds like the name of a TV series drama, Dayvid...you have a knack for storytelling, conveying to your readers these feelings and emotions. Good work!

Very visual...I could see this being sung and played out on one of the Video cable channels, like MTV. Nice writing.

Cheers,
