Davey Died In The Summertime
In A Hot Boxed Car
With A Seatbelt 'Round His Neck
And A Needle In His Arm
We Would Smoke Out In The Parking Lot
Behind Convenience Shops
I Bought A Couple Of Grams
Of Weed Off Him,
But So Did All The Cops Back Then
The Kids From All The County,
We Would Walk Out In The Heat
Along The Train Tracks
With Our Paper Bags
And Gravel In Our Feet
In Our Heads We Picked A Husband From
The Hundred Men We Knew
But I Kissed A Poster Of A Popstar
And Checked My Breasts
In Case They Grew
Reff :
There Ain't A Reason On This Earth
I'd Go Back To My Hometown
Somewhere In The Clouds,
Davey's Running For A Touchdown
The Crowd Appears
And His Mother Cheers,
She's Waving From The Field
And He's Evergreen At Seventeen
For The Last Eleven Years
U Uu.. U..
U Uu.. U..
You Know I Never Felt Like Anyone,
I Was A Paradox Ol' Lie
I Didn't Think That I Was Special
But I Was Too Afraid To Die
Like The Others From My High School
All Those Sad Suburban Ghosts
Trapped In A Cross Next To A Highway
While The Rest Of Us Get Old
Reff :
There Ain't A Reason On This Earth
I'd Go Back To My Hometown
Somewhere In The Clouds,
Davey's Running For A Touchdown
The Crowd Appears
And His Mother Cheers,
She's Waving From The Field
And He's Evergreen At Seventeen
For The Last Eleven Years
U Uu.. U..
U Uu.. U..
The American Dream Means
Staying Young Forever
In A Picture In A Pamphlet,
Getting Yellow From The Weather
And Years Will Pass
Since Science Class,
And I Might Forget Your Name
But When The Crow's Feet Come
To Kingdom Come
You'll Always Look The Same
Reff :
There Ain't A Reason On This Earth
I'd Go Back To My Hometown
Somewhere In The Clouds,
Davey's Running For A Touchdown
The Crowd Appears
And His Mother Cheers,
She's Waving From The Field
And He's Evergreen At Seventeen
For The Last Eleven Years
U Uu..
Evergreen At Seventeen
U Uu..
Evergreen At Seventeen
U Uu Uu..
Evergreen At Seventeen
U Uu..
Evergreen At Seventeen
