Where were you

It was far away and it was long ago
I was just a young rocker boy waiting on my hair to grow
You were the prettiest girl I’d ever seen
How could a small town dream, like a boy like me
We were so happy I was so in love
You said I was the one you’d been dreaming of
All the world was right and everything made sense
I still wonder why it had to end
The first few months were just like a dream
Seemed I had the world at seventeen
You said he’s harmless don’t you worry about a thing
You said I’ve known the boy since the first grade
And I can understand why he wanted you so
To this day I think we had so much to grow
My heart just sank and I dropped the phone
Said they found your car on the side of the dirt road
With your purse inside and the lights still on
Girl I knew right then my world was gone
I begged the sheriff and the g.b.i. please check out that boy with those crazy eyes
And the pigs dropped the ball like they often do
Unless its one of them or someone they knew
Where were you boy late that night
How could you show your face and look in her families eyes
Do you have no shame in your twisted mind
Where were you boy late that night
Time has passed so many years gone by
But I still think about you late at night
That beautiful soul and that sweet sweet smile
Oh a million times I’ve asked God why
I think about what you must have went through
How could anyone do something like this to you
And I ain’t ever gonna be the same
It’s like a part of me died too that day
They say there’s someone for everyone
I feel so alone now my angel’s gone
Where were you boy late that night
I’m not paralyzed by a cowards lies
You’re going down for your senseless crime
Where were you boy late that night
