Long Gone Long

Older than i used to be, younger than i'm gonna be
Fewer things puzzle me than when i was young
But when my pace is falling slack
I catch myself thinking back
A certain night, a certain summer
Long gone long
August she was swinging low
Town of about a thousand-so
Out of school, ready to get out of here
Off to farm, off to state, each going our separate ways
Graduation message still sweet in our ears
Oh oh oh, clocks are slow
Hearts beat on
Long gone long
Got into a car that night
Drove out past the signal light
Past the city limits, guess it wasn't that far
Stopped out on a rural route
Gooch got out his .22
Shooting at a freight train that was hauling new cars
Drinking underneath the stars
Watching counting meteors
Robert said you know those fell a hundred years ago
The light is just now reaching earth
I said man for what it's worth
I think you are wrong and you really don't know
Chorus
Is something going on, i tell you nothing's going on
Nothing's going on, going on, going on
Is something going on, i tell you nothing's going on
Nothing's going on, going on
Goodbye to the home team, goodbye to the rinky-dinks
Goodbye to a girl, down my street heading home
She stepped out from behind a tree, tears running down her cheeks
Goodbye to more than either of us could have known
