She fell asleep so he went home
A (?) called a broken freak
All he did was cry and moan
He hadn't said a word he couldn't speak
All the signs and the hidden looks
Had they made sense to her at all
Did she known that the heart she took
Was broken and was bleeding wall to wall
Bucky lived by the factory
Grew up in a house of nine
Ten doors down lived Catherine
Seventeen and oh so fine
Bucky's mama was a broken one
Full of fire and gasoline
Crashing bull and the smoke was gone
She left them all for h**ne
The prom was over, Kathy slept
Underneath a mattress in the gym
All the secrets he had kept
Grew into a (?) inside of him
Did she know she had ruined him
The very first time he saw her face
Those brown eyes would lure him in
And leave him like a (?) in the haze
Bucky rode on his bicycle
Down the street to Cathy's door
Planned to say Would you like to go
Looking after turtles in the store
Saw his reflection and turned around
Panicking as if he'd seen a beast
There's now doubt she will turn me down
I'm hideous and grim to say at least
Bucky lived by the factory
Grew up in a house of nine
Ten doors down lived Catherine
Seventeen and oh so fine
