I'll never forget the first time I meet you when you picked me up then we circled the block about 15 times dropping it in low and reveing up the engine. As the years went by a another memory I'll never forget is the day you played the song fall & fall by jelly roll on your phone about 100 times you always made me feel welcomed until we meet again my friend.
