lyrics

I was twelve going on thirteen when I first saw a dead human being
Chris and Vern, Teddy and me. We made a plan and we packed our things
Along the GS&WM, we started walking at 12pm
Singing "Have Gun..." in unison

And oh-ay-oh
You know we really didn't know-ay-oh
Just how far we'd have to go-ay-oh
From town out to Back Harlow Road
Just to see The Body

From "Chopper, sic balls!" to Lard Ass's pies
To the trestle where we almost died
The stories told and the stories made
Crystalized and they never will fade

Around the campfire we smoked, we cussed
The final childhood topics discussed
Everything was there all around us

And oh-ay-oh
You know we really didn't know-ay-oh
Just how far we'd have to go-ay-oh
From town out to Back Harlow Road
Just to see The Body

After all we weathered on those railroad tracks together
Well you know I'll never ever let you go
Staring down the peril as we stood up to Ace Merrill
Well you know I'll never ever let you go

The end of that summer where we stood by one another
Well you know that marked our fall from innocence
