D.B. Cooper

Thanksgiving eve back in 71, thanksgiving eve back in 71,
a man high-jacked a plane for a big ransom.
Authorities chose to meet his demands, authorities chose to meet his demands,
four parachutes and two hundred grand.
D.B. Cooper, what became of you,
D.B. Cooper, what became of you,
you’re the only one who knows what’s true.

Jumped from the plane at ten thousand feet,
he jumped from the plane at ten thousand feet,
into the cold night and into history.
Thirty years they searched for a clue, for thirty years they searched for a clue,
in all of their searchin, nothin new.
D.B. Cooper, what became of you,
D.B. Cooper, what became of you,
you’re the only one who knows what’s true.

Thanksgiving eve back in 71, thanksgiving eve back in 71,
a man high-jacked a plane for a big ransom.
F.B.I. case is still open today, the F.B.I. case is still open today,
disappeared without a trace, that’s what they say.
D.B. Cooper, what became of you,
D.B. Cooper, what became of you,
you’re the only one who knows what’s true.

Garnet Mountain

I drove slowly by your old place,
and memories came like fragments of a dream.
I could picture the look you wore on your face,
just like time had stood still in between.
I drove the road to Garnet Mountain,
and there I said a prayer just for you,
like you’d want me to, like you’d want me to.

Parked up there and watched the sun sink low,
stars began to sparkle in the sky.
The evening air began to feel real cold,
I wondered are you alive or did you die.
I drove the road to Garnet Mountain,
and there I said a prayer just for you,
like you’d want me to, like you’d want me to.

We were all so young, just kids.
I’ll never forget the day you ran away.
We all thought you’d come home but you never did.
We all hoped you found a nice place to stay.
I drove the road to Garnet Mountain,
and there I said a prayer just for you,
like you’d want me to, like you’d want me to.

Lonely Linda (Waiting For Love)

Lonely Linda, she longed for love.
Lonely Linda never felt enough.
She grew up lonely in a lonely town,
took a job at the only café around.
She was waiting, waiting for love,
she was waiting, waiting for love.

The restaurant business wasn’t all that great,
since they put in the interstate.
It’s just the locals stoppin by,
to see the other locals that might have stopped by.
She was waiting, waiting for love,
she was waiting, waiting for love.

The day she saw him, map spread across his hood,
California plates sure looked good.
He stepped inside and he smiled at her,
she couldn’t help thinkin, he could be her cure.
Cure for waiting, waiting for love,
yeah waiting, waiting for love.

What if this was her big chance, what if he was the one.
What if this was her time to dance, her day in the sun, in the sun.

He ordered coffee, they talked for a while,
she couldn’t believe how he was making her smile.
He seemed like a drifter, just passin through,
she wanted to believe he was waitin for love too,
yeah waiting, waiting for love.
Yeah waiting, waiting for love.

Each day she wondered if she’d see him again.
Each day she did til they were more than just friends.
Then one day, he said there’s something he has to do,
like a bird in season, he just flew and left
her waiting, waiting for love.
Yeah waiting, waiting for love.

What if that was her big chance, what if he was the one.
What about her time to dance, her day in the sun, in the sun.

She grew so tired of that empty little town,
she packed her bags for unfamiliar ground.
She needed a change, at least had to try,
she left in the morning, never saying goodbye.
Just like him, just gone.
Just like him, like wandering John.
