THE FRONT SEAT

I fell in love in the front seat of a ’56 Ford

At a drive-in movie, sliding over toward

A girl in shorts and necking a little

On a bench seat, no gearshift in the middle.

She was young and eager—it didn’t take much

To slip her in gear and let out the clutch

But the beautiful bench where we performed our feats

Has been replaced by two bucket seats

And a brake lever, gearshift, and armrest

Between me and the girl I love best,

Which is sensible and safer, perhaps,

Two people restrained by safety straps,

But if safety were all that people thought of

Then who would ever fall in love?
