Harley? hangs like a dead man

From a white oak tree

There's people sittin' on porches

Thinkin' how things used to be



Dark night... it's a dark night

Dark night... it's a dark night



The neighborhood was changin', strangers movin' in

A new boy fell for another girl when she made eyes at him

She was young and pretty, no stranger to other men

But who knows what being ____ at night the old line's drawn again



I thought these things didn't matter anymore

I thought all that blood had been shed long ago



Dark night... it's a dark night



He took her to the outskirts

He pledged his love to her

They thought it was their secret

But someone knew where they were

He held her so close

He asked about her dreams

When a bullet from a passing car

Made the young girl scream



I thought these things didn't happen anymore

I thought all that blood had been shed long ago



Dark night ... it's a dark night
