Wayward Son by Kansas is a good song

Nothing really going on this week, I don’t really have a whole lot to say about any one thing so I’ll tell you a memory.
Now, this was a very long time ago, I was in my early twenties and still pretty stupid considering the events that transpired in this little story I’m about to tell. My friend and I had been out pretty much all night, hitting the bars and the pool halls looking for something….anything to do. Needless to say we were pretty tore up, a lot of beers drank and a lot of smoke passed between us.
Nothing really spectacular happened during the night, we meet friends and hung out; we made some friends and hung out, the usual stuff that young men do in a semi-small town where there are quite a few bars and a few pool halls. At the end of the night (or the beginning of the morning however you want to look at it) we headed home, in a car, in our condition, it wasn’t the brightest thing we’d done that night. But everything ended well.
While we were driving home, it was very foggy and my buddy was driving and like I said we were tore up. So we’re driving along, my friend practically had head against the wind shield, now whether it was due to the fog outside or the fog inside his head, I don’t know. But suddenly he sits back and waves his hand in front of his head like he’s swatting a fly and says:
“Man, you got to put that cigarette out, I can’t see shit.”
Well, I look around just to be sure no one else is in the car and once I see there isn’t I look at him and say:
“Mother Fucker, I ain’t smoking, it’s foggy outside!”
He looks at me and says: “Oh”
That’s it, nothing else was said, and he went back to driving with his head against the windshield.
A few minutes later, he says:
“Whew, I need to slow down.”
I look out the window and watch the road SLOWLY pass beneath us, I didn’t say anything, and even though he thought we were going too fast he didn’t make an effort to slow down.
