Back to School - Jeannie C. Riley[00:00:00]

Wintertime comes early to the north part of this state[00:00:10]

I walk along the river where we used to come and skate[00:00:14]

The trees're now all gone and by the river there's a sign[00:00:23]

Trespassin' is a twenty dollar fine[00:00:28]

Lookin' up the road toward the schoolhouse on the hill[00:00:36]

That thing about an empty building causes me to chill[00:00:40]

My memory goes back to when the teacher rang the bell[00:00:49]

The day she sent you home for saying hell[00:00:54]

Walkin' past the building so important in my past[00:01:02]

The road is full of ol discarded bottles and some trash[00:01:06]

I step behind the building as I shelter from the cold[00:01:15]

I see our names in letters big and bold[00:01:20]

My fingers trace the letters of a work of art alone[00:01:32]

And I recall the day that you carved it in a stone[00:01:37]

Somehow I can see you now with books and coat in hand[00:01:46]

You always waved as down the hill you ran[00:01:51]

Cokes were just a nickel then and many were the times[00:01:59]

The two of us would sip them as if they were village wine[00:02:03]

And then on Graduation Day we bought the little ring[00:02:12]

And said that carats didn't mean a thing[00:02:17]

Now I retrace my footsteps to the cab that waits for me[00:02:25]

Looking back to see our names you carved upon a tree[00:02:29]

The driver says I look familiar you asks me what's my name[00:02:38]

I say hurry I have to catch a plane[00:02:43]
