Ever Since The Day

When the stranger came to town

We treated him with hate

He rubbed it right back in our face

So two teenage boys would race

For a twenty dollar bet

And to claim who would be great

So we all skipped our last class

To see our hero face the fool

Start their engines, press the gas

Lord, may our hero make it through

This chilly autumn day

And they sky all black and blue

But he last thing that we saw

Ws our hero drive right off the hill

His car went rolling into flames

He gave his life away

For a twenty dollar bet

And to sanctify his fate

As we all were walking home

Shell-shocked and immune

We kicked dirt up with our shoes

There was nothing else to do

And ever since the day

We’ve never been the same

Hollow and afraid

Ever since the day
