Lyrics:
What Happened To The Class Of '65?
I was behind the camera
I was in the commercial
Dying fast without consent
Standing where the building collapsed
First scene, drinking cola
From a first class seat by a window
A change of clothes
Better fitting shoes
Praying for a change in the weather
Lucky break, I caught the replay
“There’s never been a better time for saving”
“You’ll be great, I’ll be watching side stage”
“Send a self addressed stamped envelope..”
Oh boy, I’ll be sleeping
Slight delay
“Call you later”
Flight arrived
Landing safely home
“Caroline, I’ll be sleeping”
Rain delay
Could be better
Sunday night
Wishing you were home
“Dear Dan, you can wake me anytime I am dreaming”
“Know that I wish that you were home”
I miss you Tacoma
