It was early in the morning when the officers broke into the yard They yelled IDs and Outside these fellas they were acting pretty hard There was no mistake they found the place the little house to blame for all the noise complaints They lined us up and had the chat then the big man asked who owns this place I froze like a deer in the headlights I was afraid at the time I was nineteen years old and I was pretty far gone It was a routine Friday night There was no point to try and deny it The circumstances spoke for themselves I laced my shoes and I tightened my belt The four of us stepped forward preparing to honor our charge I told him we were renters we didn't own a damn thing but our cars He studied my license and shot a gaze at the bottle in my hand He said you're playing with fire boy you're not even old enough to be dubbed a man Then I caught a strange look in his eye And he cracked an empathetical smile He said I too threw 'em down back in my day son But those days have been gone for a while I'm glad to see the torch is still burning But you're glowing red from the heat Go inside and try to get some sleep Go inside and try to get some sleep We counted inventory they hadn't taken any liquor or weed That's gold to some college kids the only entertainment we'd need Can't you see us on the cover of jailbirds now criminals with criminal records We found salvation between the fingers of a few fine strangers There was light in a kind heart that hadn't yet been torn apart by the ways of this place Damn the darkness keep it at bay May God damn the darkness and keep it at bay
