Taking Me Back

Folder: 
5-Reflection

Riding down the road I take

a turn and I can see the lake

taking me back.

In the perfect weather

people hanging out together

are taking me back.

Listening to the band

and when the guitar starts to jam

it’s coming around again.



I’ll walk another block

and see the boat up on the lock

it’s taking me back.

People at the park

are getting crazy after dark

and it’s taking me back.

The girls all in the hood

are really looking awful good

because it’s coming around again.



So many paths open up in your life

You never know if the one you’re on is best.

Just handle each step the best way you can.

And never have any regrets.



Riding through my mind

all the memories that I find

are taking me back.

Hearing all the sounds

I stop and take a look around

and it’s taking me back.

I’ve seen so many faces

and I’ve been so many places

Now it’s coming around again.
