I remember standing and talking to him about buying that bass from him
It was a pretty good one but he had picked up something better already.

I remember the time his band played down at the museum grounds.
I talked to him between sets about whatever it was. It's impossible to say what now.

At any given time, a hundred miles or so away, a party is starting.
Not far to go for a prairie boy.

I can't tell you what happened to him. I know, but there's just no point to tell you.
It happened late at night after the party had ended.

Once again, he was driving home with all the music packed in the back, only a hundred miles or so.
Not far to go for a prairie boy.

I remember after he died being in 7-11 and buying a slurpee from his brother. What do you say?
