JPF Home Page Forums General Messages Songwriter Message Forum The best "first line" you never finished?

I don't have anything clever. But when I was young, my parents always took us kids on an annual two-week road trip vacation. By the time I was 15 we had visited 46 states plus Canada and Mexico.

The planning that went into these trips was essentially nil - which created a wonderful sense of adventure. We never had motel reservations so we were free to stop anywhere that caught our interest.

The first line of the song I've never completed is:


Every June we'd pack the car, and Dad would throw it in gear

And at the end of the street, he'd look at us and say, "Where're we gonna go this year?"
