You took your brand new Hawkeye And pointed it up at the sky You just let the shutter fly All of your friends still wonder why But you were never good with a goodbye You just turned your back and let it slide I try to remember the words I once heard You spoke them with courage You never deserved all the help That they let you carry If you were the first I'm sure you'd be the first to be buried The stars went wheeling across the sky Silhouetted the tops of the bounding pines Summer was hot, we were storming inside The morning clouds bloomed by moonlight You kept that picture in your mind Because of all the smoke in our eyes I took a piss on the wall Out back of the mall You drank the last of the sherry Green grass stains on your bare feet On the dash of your mother's Chevy I guess it's hard to quit But you always win to begin with We've been from shoulder to shoulder We'll never grow up We just got older I'd shoot a hole right through my heart From the very start Anticipating the myth of you Anticipating the myth of you Anticipating the myth of you
