ACROSS THE TRACKS (LYRICS)

Never gone...
We look back on when we were friends
Don't go...
Promises torn to the end

She was a teacher
She taught me tenth grade
The world is her classroom
But the world is my stay

Never gone...
Disappeared on an April day
Students...
Punished her for things they regret

Down by the water
I passed the tracks
That's where they found her
Flat on her back

She was a teacher
She taught me tenth grade
The world is my classroom
The world is my stay

Never gone...
We look on when we were friends
Don't go...
Promises torn to the end
Send her
Disappeared on an April day
Students...
Punished her for things they regret

Down by the water
I passed the tracks
That's where they found her
Flat on her back

She was a teacher
She taught me tenth grade
The world is my classroom
The world is my stay
