They moved like greased lightening
The finger strokes of Henley and the boys
In the licks on the string tool.
The guitar hummed in the darkness
And a car sped away in the night
Headlights blazing on the corner of Packard
And the Boulevard.
It reminded me of younger days
When I watched videos
Of “All she wants to do is dance”
And “The boys of summer.”
Miami Vice was all the rage
And Crockett and Tubbs were
Large and in charge
In their three piece detective suits
But then we all knew that Henley
Had been to California and back
And from that
Well it kind of becomes
Home.
