Off You Go

      Well he broke through the barrier and rode down the hill
      A sound like thunder then everything stood still
      Back home the widow wondered where he'd gone

      In the evening the meadow sings without care
      His eyes staring blankly up into the air
      The cars far above him kept rolling along

      Off you go into the summer
      Off you go to the fall
      You get tossed between the wicked and the wonder
      Suddenly you stop feeling anything at all

      Speed and alcohol the papers equated
      For the record good judgement was not demonstrated
      Rest assured this one was not drug related

      Back home the young widow weeps and sighs
      Explains to her kids how their daddy died
      She closes the door to the room where he used to try

      Off you go into the summer
      Off you go to the fall
      You got tossed between the wicked and the wonder
      And suddenly you stop feeling anything at all

      Well we all have occasion to slip on the path
      Some get to pay for the aftermath
      Some won't get another chance to realize life has an ending

      Well the widow moves on as the years progress
      Starts her life over but never forgets
      Down in the meadow there's darkness descending

      Off you go into the summer
      Off you go to the fall
      You get tossed between the wicked and the wonder
      And suddenly you stop feeling anything at all
