Fifty Chevy by Duke LaRance Wednesday, October 20, 2010 Rated "PG" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan This for Tom and Howard
Skidding down the Bellvue Road Just a bit too fast Old Tom was out of cigarettes Damned near out of gas Long cloud of dust behind him As he first caught sight of town From the top of Burd Hill Throttle down He drove a Fifty Chevy That he bought in Sixty-four Three speed on the column Good sized dents in either door Living in the bunkhouse For a long spell at a time Was enough to make a cowboy Lose his mind He walked into the Wheel Boilermakers all around Slam that shot glass on the bar Toss the beer and whisky down You should have seen them drop Those little glasses in their beer Then stumble out the back door Feed the deer Hey Joe � gimme a haircut I sure could use a shave You�d best have a taste of whisky Before you touch that straight-edge blade We�ll head back to the Wheel Boilermakers all around Slam shot glasses on the bar Toss ambrosia down (C)2010/duke larance/all rights reserved July 31, 2010

Know none of cowboys or anything west of the Mississippi so I feel I can't comment on them, but as for the content I think we all, in every part of the country have had our 50 Chevies & bars name of Wheels...though mine were a 68 Mustang GT500 & a bar called the Penalty Box in Wildwood, NJ...I also remember shots of southern comfort with a beer chaser & sitting on the beach in the ocean totally lit smoking a bone...;-)ed

It's a whole world in itself, Duke, a world of friendship, uncertainty, but of definite identity and lifestyle, too, and it has always intrigued me. John
