Girl From '62

she was a girl from 1962

i was a boy from 1959

i walked up to her in my broken shoes

dragging my soul thru the grime

she was a girl from 1962

i walked the line

i fell to my knees it was 16 after 2

i was a boy from 1959

i looked to her eyes i needed a cue

i looked to my hands but they weren't mine

she was a girl from 1962

i walked the line

3295 days between us did divide

upon my grave i will atone

for the time i left that girl alone

she was a girl from 1962

i walked the line
