Black pontiac with a pocket of cash Foot on the gas
Ready and throwing up a little dust
Like a pick up truck
Does in the mud but ain't nobody slowing' us down
Right now

She said I need a little something with some get up and go
And nobody knows how to get me going
Quite like you do when you doin the things you do
Wanna give this sleepy podunk town
Something to talk about

So we were taillights fading from some blue lights chasing
Cut a path through the corn on County Road 44
Tore up a fence
Jumped in a ditch
Felt so good
We didn't want it to end
So we went

Looking for a dive just to kill some time
Let the heat cool off we could do us some dancin'
Didn't take long, just a couple of songs
You know it's last call when the law comes walkin' in

So we were taillights fading from some blue lights chasing
Cut a path through the corn off County Road 44
Tore up a fence
Jumped in a ditch
Felt so good
We didn't want it to end so we went

Rocking to the radio
Fogging up the windows
Headlights off
In a spot nobody else knows

We were taillights fading from some blue lights chasing
Cut a path through the corn on County Road 44
Tore up a fence
Jumped in a ditch
Felt so good
We didn't want it to end
Black pontiac with a pocket of cash
Foot on the gas ready and throwing up a little of dust
Like a pick up truck
Does in the mud but ain't nobody slowing' us down
Right now

we should all just get dogs.

sentences vary by structure as well as by function. there are compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

simple sentence

i like to read.

a simple sentence has one independent clause.

compound sentence

i like to read, and i also like to write.

a compound sentence includes more than one independent clause, connected by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet).

complex sentence

i prefer to read books that are bestsellers.

a complex sentence includes one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. (a dependent clause is one that cannot stand alone.) types of dependent clauses include relative clauses (i kicked the boy who pinched me), adverb clauses (i am going home now because i have a curfew), and noun clauses (i don't know what to do next).

compound-complex sentence

although i prefer to read current bestsellers, i do like to read old agatha christie mysteries, and i also like some 20th-century science fiction.

compound-complex sentences take a bunch of clauses (multiple independent clauses, and one or more dependent clauses) and toss them together like a salad. although these sentences take practice to write in a grammatically correct fashion, they can hold a tremendous amount of meaning, and are common in academic writing.

another character. imagine that section narrated in first person point of view from one of the character's perspective, and rewrite it in the space below, attempting to use a similar writing style as the original author. then, in a second paragraph, consider this: are you able to explore some of the same ideas and themes when viewing the situation from the character's first person point of view, as compared to when it is narrated from london's third-person limited
