A nostalgic look at the carefree innocence of childhood and a desire to return to those days

I grew up in Lebanon TN, a small town about 30 years east of Nashville. Like most people that I know, I have some lingering childhood issues. I was raised in a dysfunctional family by parents who were raised in a dysfunctional family, who were also raised by parents in a dysfunctional family, who were...you get it

I sincerely love my brothers, but we aren’t really tight. One has passed on and the other one and I have hard time being in the same room together without one of us wanting to beat the other. But I still love the guy. He’s my brother.

One day several friends and myself were sitting around talking about bicycles. I was reminded of this sweet Metallic green 5 speed Schwinn Stingray that I had when I was 7 or 8. It came with a T-Handle shifter, a banana seat, a sissy bar, and a wide slick back tire, and was ideal for popping wheelies. I had gotten that bike for my birthday and immediately became the coolest kid on Pennsylvania Ave. How could you not be with a bike like that?

This was originally supposed to be a song about that bicycle, instead it became a nostalgic look at my childhood and my relationship with my brothers. The Horn Springs Pool is long gone, but the Snow White Drive In has been there since 1953. Stop in and get you a milkshake.
