I was seventeen
I thought the rules of life
did not apply to me
we found the the keys
to my families LTD
we drove three hours just
to smell the ocean breeze
Memories
Only memories
the picture's faded
but it's clear enough for me
the OC police
saw me drinking on the beach
took me to the station
with another detainee
he was higher than me
yellin' police brutality
he beat his head against bars
and tried to spit on me
just then my eighteen year old friend
came in and sprung me from the pen
I thought I'd never see him again
we walked to the boardwalk through the sandy
streets in my barefeet
I met a girl from Baltimore and then
we slept out on the beach
Then she she made love to me
on Assateague - she was such a freak
her style was stunning and unique
then we road the ponies on the beach
Memories
Only memories
mental reflections
of my past realities
Memories
Only memories
insignifigant
but good enough for me
