High School Gym

I've got a dream that repeats
Last night, it found me again
Where everybody I know who's gone
Is in the bleachers of my high school gym

The crowd started off small
You keep your fingers crossed
But it's been filling up fast, and now it's packed to the rafters
There's a line around the block

Everybody wants another shot

So when I wake up crying
I'm alright, but you know where I've been
I was going somewhere, but got lost on the way
In my high school gym

There's my old man smoking his Pall Malls
There's my granny in her robe with thе frills
And over there on thе ends, are my old good time friends
Who showed up early, with the powder and the pills

There's just one question that's on everybody's mind
Hell, they ask me every time I stop in
Can't you turn back time?
Can't you curve that line?
So we can roll the old dice again?

Oh, but the house it always wins

So when I wake up crying
I'm alright, but you know where I've been
I was going somewhere but got lost on the way
In my high school gym

So when I wake up crying
I'm alright, but you know where I've been
I was going somewhere but got lost on the way
In my high school gym
