LONG GONE LONG			  The Rainmakers

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 seperate 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 now just reaching earth, I said man for what it's worth
I think you are wrong and you really don't know

Oh oh oh, clocks are slow
Hearts beat on
Long gone long

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
