Swarthill Road – S Turn

A sharp bend in a state highway (NY 223) that climbs out of a hollow outside of Van Etten and Steuben County.

I asked AI to write me a song about a 20 year old Honda

(Verse 1)
She’s a silver streak of plastic in a world of SUVs
With a dashboard made of polymer and memories
Parallel parking is a breeze, a three-point turn’s a joke
She’s the ultra-reliable champion that never blows a smoke
While the neighbors pay for chargers or a massive diesel tank
I’m just whistling my way right to the local savings bank.

(Chorus)
Twenty years of rolling, thirty miles to the gallon
A frugal little warrior, a suburban street stallion
From the grey office park to the commercial shopping mall
She’s the greenest little thing that’ll never ever stall
Two hundred thousand miles and she’s just getting warm
The Honda Civic glory, weathering every storm.

(Verse 2)
The door chime’s got a rhythm, the seats are worn-in grey
She takes me to the cubicle to start another day
No flashy chrome or leather, just functional design
Keeping my commuter budget perfectly in line
She fits in every tiny spot, she’s light upon the earth
Proving every single day exactly what she’s worth.

(Bridge)
It’s a sea of molded plastic and a simple four-pot beat
The most sensible companion on any city street
She’s not a status symbol, she’s a promise kept in steel
The most honest, green, and frugal way to get behind the wheel.

(Outro)
Yeah, the odometer keeps climbing, but she’s feeling evergreen
The best twenty-year-old partner the suburbs ever seen.
