Christopher Cross - Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)
I am 4 years old. My grandparents (my dad’s mom and dad) have made a rare trip from Mount Airy to Raleigh to visit us. All 6 of us are packed into my mom’s burgundy Cutlass. I decide the logical place for me to be is lying behind the back seat, on the ledge smashed between the backseat headrests and the window. I am lying face down, on my arms, staring out the window. It is night time; we are on Tryon Road heading east, about to turn right onto Yates Mill Pond Road. This song is on the radio and i can feel the music vibrate my knees. My Grandfather reaches back and tousles my hair. I am happy and i feel loved. I fall asleep before we get home.
