Something I always wanted to do.....

This month's topic for our group
 "By Invitation Only": 

Being or doing something unusual, fantastic, eccentric or crazy...
or - something we always wanted to be or to do.

In my earlier days I had in mind and dreamed about...

...driving a big red truck on the famous Route 66 in the US....

...being the "Queen of the road"....

..."riding" along, listening to country music -

and old Western cowboy ballads....

*

"High on a mountain in western Montana
A silhouette moves 'cross a cinnamon sky
Riding alone on a horse he called Music
With a song on his lips, and a tear in his eye

He dreams of a time, and a lady that loved him
And how he would sing her sweet lullabies
But we don't ever ask him
And he never talks about her
Guess it is better to just let it slide

But sang "ooh" to the ladies
And ooh, he made some sigh
Now he rides away on a horse he called Music
With a pain in his heart and a tear in his eye

He rode the Music from Boston to Bozeman
For not too much money, but way to much ride
But those were the days when a horse he called Music
Could jump through the moon and sail across the sky

...Now all that's left is a time-old worn cowboy
With nothin' more than the sweet by-and-by
And trailing behind, is a horse with no rider
A horse he calls memories that she used to ride

And he sang "ooh" to the ladies
And ooh, he damn near made some fall right down and die
Now he rides away on a horse he called Music
With a pain in his heart and a tear in his eye

High on a mountain in western Montana
Two crosses cut, through a cinnamon sky
Marking the place where a horse he called Music
Lays with a cowboy in the sweet by-and-by..."

 In my today's fantasy I'm "on the road",

  ...and at an old truck stop...

 ...somewhere in Oklahoma...

I'll meet

These guys are already waiting for me...





to play the guitars and to sing - 
only for me!

Yeah! that would be great !

Well,

the big red truck was just a dream.

*

I ended up with "something en miniature" - a 3,5 ton red VW Van,
 in which I drove over the years for almost 420 thousand KM,
transporting my antiques back- and forwards from country to country. 
Sitting high up, overlooking the roads, listening to my musics,
 felt a bit being "Queen of the road"...and still do...

while...



...Route 66 with its "kicks" is still waiting for me....
