In a small, Pennsylvania town the kind that   Looks like a postcard from a distance   There sprang a true love, a God-forbidden new love   Complete with romance and resistance      Bars and churches and one-pump Texacos   Provide the setting and the frame work   He's been calling her, her mama's stalling him   But now they're on their way to claim her      That night - he sat in the back seat   That night - they drove up and down the street   That night - all he wanted was to see her face again      Summer nights they danced beneath the stars   Upon the Erie shore she would receive him   But oh those days are passed and she ain't been to class   And he don't know what to believe      Now Cupid's army, stand behind their leader   They carry chains and wear black leather   They dragged her mama out,   The neighbor fathers saw her kick and shout   And then they all did band together      That night - soldiers lined the field   That night - trash can lids for shields   That night - in his cries they heard the depths of love revealed      And the funny thing was, she was miles away   Her aunt and uncle's house, and in the family way   And he never knew, cause she never said so   If only she had told him 'bout it   He would a' never let them go      In a small, Pennsylvania town the kind that   Looks like a postcard from a distance   There was a burst of violence in the name of first love   I know cause I was an eye witness      That night - he went to stake his claim   That night - I called my lover's name   That night - I only wanted things to be the same again   To be the same again   That night   Oh that night
