Two roommates go hunting
Outside their bunkhouse
In the fields alongside the Truckee River
A kid trips and falls on his gun
By a white house in Washoe County
A kid lays bleeding in a brown corduroy coat
1968 blurred in a haze of disbelief
An eighteen year old kid loses his life
He was the favorite son
And by its deed the parents'
Marriage and their religion
Became undone, he was the
Favorite one
By a white house in Washoe County
A kid lays bleeding in a brown corduroy coat
1968
