The Fall of ’59

Lyrics

I was one among the many Who still hadn't gotten any In the senior class of '59 Life's sweet mystery was a fantasy to me The reality was bound to come in time I hung out at the drug store And the waitress that I'd go for Got all her clothes from Frederick's of Hollywood I stirred my Coca Cola and sit and stare at Lola 'Cause she could move a special way and would In the fall of '59 Such a shame those yesterdays are gone In the Fall of '59 I could rock 'n' roll all night long We'd pull into The Starlight And watch the movies all night The three of us would share a can of beer Then I'd burn out on that highway and floor my 40 Ford Scared to dеath but I claimed I didn't hear Those wеre the happy days Better in so many ways When life was just an easy ride for me That summer 'n' fall of '59 When I didn't read between the lines Innocent enough to still believe In the fall of '59 Such a shame those yesterdays are gone In the fall of '59 I could rock 'n' roll all night long All night long!
