lyrics

Three boys talk next to train tracks underneath long days

Do you know about that girl named after the road
No it was the road named after the girl
Whatever same difference
My brother says she sank to the bottom of the river
But I hear many stories

I heard she lit up like a burn pile in the wind
My father says she lost her life to the farm
A day of work a day in church a tractors tragic casket
I’ve been told somebody did it with a piece from the quarry spoken like a secret

My uncle calls it fast living says that was her way
That teenage corners come awful quick
I heard she had sick, spread through her body
That slow was how she left

Three boys talk next to train tracks
Tossing stones kicking dust

I’m thinking she was hit on this very line
By a locomotive that couldn’t slow down in time
I heard they found her scattered all over the county
My cousin says she died swinging from a tree
But that’s all just myth and legend

Hey what say, we all take
A stroll down Darlenes bend
We’ll think on what it is to be young
And how this all will end
