“The Ghost Train,” 1953
The Ride; something special?
Ride of my life I'm looking for
Too old for ponies I was told
Truth comes hard not child any more
Life change, adolescents we were
Corny jokes tickles and pinches
Crushes, fickle loves and breakups
Come scarey tunnel of darkness
Moments getting more serious
Teens we learned every part of love
High school finished my grades were good
Way too young still, took our chances
Steamed romances settled on one
Will marriage be the ride for me
Cross my fingers hope for good choice
