A U-Turn

Jam packed little brown suitcase 					                
Post cards along the way   					                
Scenic route seemed right to race   				              
Under the sun a thirsty runaway  			                               
Travailing down the road          					                
Sign on truck heavy load   			 		                  
Passing by written like wash me   					     
A little hand a cross Jesus loves thee            			               
moment Thoughts of turning around    					 
The world to see it can be found       				                
Driving down the byways thinking                                                                	     
A road house the stop for drinking        				                  
Broken glass the hard times are here      					 
The running car a getaway  					           
Grabbing the girl an excited fear      				             
Maybe she will help show the gateway           				 
Toll both ahead I have to pay this time                                                                            
Handed change paper fold maybe a rhyme   			                   
God loves you turn around please                                                                                      
A small laugh when read into the breeze                                                                      
Broken heart there she goes lassie sped                                                                        
Got rid of some junk need a place to stay                                                                         
A little more class ran the chassis red                                                                        
Turning into the hotel a friendly café                                                                             
Unpacked to stay a little thru    						    
A shot to many heart disarray 				                            
Grasping the bible to my dismay                                                                                 
Scribbled in black and blue                          				      
U-turn heed post cards along the way                                                                       
Listen now I will show you the way               			               
Hearken to me lose not your own soul                                                                          
For I have finished first place I love you so
