Drive from here to the Carolina coast
And you will know abundance
Where you stop to gas up and pee
Walk the dog or buy some fries
You will hear
How are you?
Where ya'll headin'?
Safe trip now
And Happy New Year!
Sometimes
See you again
Always
Thank you
Sometimes
Ma'am.
Someone holds the door
Another says excuse me
Coming out of the bathroom
And another smiles and nods
On your way out the door.
That's from here to there
Though
It doesn't have to be that way.
People can be surly and sullen
If they choose
And as they often do at K-Mart
Just down the road from here.
But never mind that.
The main thing is
The abundance
You can know
From here to there.
