G G/F# G/B
Well, he broke through the barrier and rolled down the hill
C C/B Am
Sound like thunder then everything stood still
G G/F# G/B D
Back home the widow wondered where he'd gone
G G/F# G/B
In the evening the meadow sings without care
C C/B Am
His eyes staring blankly up into the air
G G/F# G/B D
The cars far above him kept rolling along
C C/B Am G G/F# G/B
Oh, off you go, into the summer
C C/B Am D
Oh, off you go, to the fall
C C/B Am G G/F# G/B
You get tossed be - tween the wicked and the wonder
C C/B Am G G/F# G/B
And suddenly you stop feeling anything at all
Speed and alcohol, the papers equated
For the record, good judgement was not demonstrated
And rest assured, this one was not drug-related
Back home, the young widow weeps and sighs
Explains to her kids how their daddy died
She closes the door to the room where he used to try
Oh, off you go into the summer
Oh, off you go to the fall
You get tossed between the wicked and the wonder
And suddenly you stop feeling anything at all
We all have occasion to slip on the path
Some get to pay for the aftermath
Some won't get another chance to realize life has an ending
Well, the widow moves on as the years progress
Down in the meadow, there's darkness descending
Oh, off you go into the summer
Oh, off you go to the fall
You get tossed between the wicked and the wonder
And suddenly you stop feeling anything at all
