Dos Equis/Ace

Dos equis

Struck out twice

Since I made the drive

Because what I thought my life

Would be, isn’t what it’s like

Dos equis

And I take a sip

But it’s not the same

So I dump it down the drain

Because these people don’t care

And Dad isn’t here to share

A variety pack

That we bought in a place where

You get worried about bears

This time it tastes like beer

Not like good times

Or like a backyard

Where you hear

Laughter and talk about the years

It doesn’t taste like

Watching a sun set below the Horizon line

By Horizon, way up on Cornice drive

Back when the road ended

And I could do more than just drive by

Because you had left

And I drove all the way home

Alone, listening to Summertime

Now you call me on the phone

And I realize how much we’ve grown

Because this isn’t your impala

This isn’t Kum and Go

This isn’t Hillside park

Where I go to throw

Discs, cuz now I go alone

And we talk about the next time

We’ll both be at home

I try to smile

And think that it will be

Like it used to be, 2017

Remember when we’d say

That no matter what we’d stay

In touch, call me any day

So you did, because you hit your first ace

Trollwood, nobody there to take

A pic, so you posed there with your disc

I feel bad that I missed it

Cuz 8 years have passed

Since we first played

And it feels like yesterday

Even though time has passed

I promise I’ll be back

And we’ll lose track

Of time, like we used to

Over at Hillside

And I hope that one day

You’ll be there

When I hit my first ace.
