Warning! Disturbing scenes
A story of a small town
and the young people
whose lives are torn apart by the second world war
Maybe it seems kinda cold, but we just tried to put Ralphie out of our minds
Course in a small town, that's hard to do.
There are so many reminders
His house on the corner
That stupid ol' green bike that he used to pedal around in
The tree fort
It was hard to forget
I mean you couldn't go to the restaurant without thinkin' of Ralphie.
Ralphie ate like a pig
He was like an eagre to please puppy
When he's around, you're a little annoyed
But when he's gone
there's this...hole.
They went to fight in a foreign land
Some never came back
Some had nothing to come back to
