He was trouble at home He was trouble at school He kept a knife hid away He kept friends who were cool He only felt free, at night in his truck With the windows rolled down, and the radio up Driving the backroads, lit by the stars Lost in the night, with his troubles afar He will drive, Henry drive Drive Henry Drive To get away Into the night-time You'll fade away Upon his return At the end of his drive He’d come back to town Where his troubles reside No place to run No place to hide Henry just hang on and soon you will drive Straight through the night, just to survive Drive, drive, drive, Henry Drive, drive, drive, Henry

Melody 02:52
She’s a sad song Where did she come from? What made this Melody so blue? It’s been so long Since we’ve seen you smile Poor Melody, tell us what’s wrong with you From the moment, they saw her walkin’ All the boys stopped a talkin’ The girls gathered round in a ring The girls. they would whisper, The boys wished to kiss her And when she passed by they all sing She’s a sad song Where did she come from? What made this Melody so blue? It’s been so long Since we’ve seen you smile Poor Melody, tell us what’s wrong with you As She walked away the singing would fade Again she was all alone On the way home, Henry saw her on the road He said, “I'll lend you a ride if you lend me a smile” She turned and looked him in the eyes, and said, “You’re not like the other guys, the truth is, I’ve liked you for a while” She’s a sad song Where did she come from? What made this Melody so blue? It’s been so long Since we’ve seen you smile Poor Melody, tell us what’s wrong with you She hopped in his car, they drove off real far Now they’d never be alone

They both had a lifetime So young and in love They’d share the darkness Both hid from the sun It was cold cold summer And autumn came early They watched the colors change And fade away Where did they go When the leaves were falling? The dark shadow Of the end was calling their names It was so unexpected In the blink of an eye They were too young to care Unafraid to die But in their last moment They held each other The leaves fell around them Until they were covered Where did they go When the leaves were falling? The dark shadow Of the end was calling

Crooked Oak 02:16
Lovely They were once to be together Weren't they? Living dangerously day by day Until a certain death came And took them from this world so far away Trapped in the shade Below the crooked oak is where they lay

about

Outside Sandy Bluff, beneath the crooked oak, the remains of two young lovers were found; this is their story.
