Tuesday we started our roadtrip South Blossom to hear songs from Paul Simon's mouth Zeke was our waiter, keeping spirits high Dinner with new friends from Ohio walking by
Paul should've hung it up while the memories were great His songs are forever, but the voice out of date Edie sang a few and sounded like gold Should've grabbed the mic and finished the show We stayed for a while, gave the man his due Then headed for Brubaker's for tequila and brew
A friendly place two minutes away Perfect for nightcaps before hitting the hay Closed the place down with cool new friends Mi Amigo Cain told of places he'd been Bay City was where he'd worked in a biz Crazy how small this whole world is
You can plan on a map, but not how it goes The best nights are the ones that nobody ever knows So let's raise a glass to new friends we find Who joined in our fun on the road to Carolina
Manchester in Lexington we arrived about six Another Kat at the bar then Lost Palm was our fix Cool rooftop bar for drinks and some dinner New friends KC and Maddison grabbed me a shirt that's a winner
Josie's for lunch on our way out of town Valet's advice didn't let us down Kats needed a break from driving a bit Colonel Sanders in Corbin did just the trick
You can plan on a map, but not how it goes The best nights are the ones that nobody ever knows So let's raise a glass to new friends we find Who joined in our fun on the road to Carolina
Our Airbnb was the best one we've seen A perfect two bedroom cabin whose landscape was so green A long porch with a swing and cold drinks in hand Made it easy to enjoy this mountainous land
Friday afternoon found us riding the trails Maggie would lead Bear and Gus without fail We planned a mountain walk moving easy and slow Then out of nowhere came "Whoa, Bear, Whoa"
The wedding was at a great place on a hill Kats looked fantastic, gave me a thrill The dinner was great then I couldn't stay cool Mixed a tequila I brought, I was no fool
Cincinnati was where we'd stay for the night A boutique hotel named Symphony looked alright Che was fun to eat about six blocks away Karaoke in our hotel — showtunes from Broadway
From Akron bars to Kentucky skies From old songs fading to mountain highs The map said Carolina was where we'd arrive But the best parts happened along the drive
You can plan on a map, but not how it goes The best nights are the ones that nobody ever knows So let's raise a glass to new friends we find Who joined in our fun on the road to Carolina Paul Simon, mountain trails, and friends we just met Cold drinks on the porch at the best place yet
From Akron to Lexington, then high in the pines Making memories one mile at a time Our roadtrips are slower, we don't drive a ton Our Carolina road trip was a whole lot of fun
