The Road Ahead

In New Jersey where he was born and raised

Now Arizona bound, where the sun blazed

Retirement's here, oh what a funny tale

Leaving behind the snow for a desert trail

We'll hit the road in our RV, me and you

With dreams as vast as the sky so blue

Laughing our way through every state

Retirement's the best, ain't life great

In the garage, he's the king of his domain

With a wrench in one hand, and a gun to maintain

They call him Hammer, for reasons unknown

Building and fixing, it's how he's grown

He's got a way with words, those platitudes fly

Met at the clubhouse, September's sky

Two thousand five, seems like yesterday

From then on, together every day

We'll hit the road in our RV, me and you

With dreams as vast as the sky so blue

Laughing our way through every state

Retirement's the best, ain't life great

His eyes sparkle with humor and light

Paris memories, dancing through the night

He's the reason I smile every day

In his arms, I want to stay

Heavy machines were his daily grind

Mechanic's hands, a brilliant mind

Rose from the ashes, achievements grand

Always there, lending a hand

We'll hit the road in our RV, me and you

With dreams as vast as the sky so blue

Laughing our way through every state

Retirement's the best, ain't life great

On his motorcycle, wind in his hair

A jack of all trades, beyond compare

Always ready to help, with a smile wide

With Jack by my side, it's a joyful ride

So here's to the future, the road ahead

With laughter and love, and no words unsaid

Traveling together, come rain or shine

In our RV, with Hank by our side
