Theo And Weird Henry - John Mellencamp

Henry worked at Sears or somehwhere

Theo did, too

They both got themselves a van together;

Nineteen seventy-two, Ford

Drove around all night long playing music very, very loud

Big noise, all the time;

Little legends in a little town

Moments of time they shared together

Moments of time between two friends

Standing on street corners with shirts unbuttoned

There was a moment in time they swore they were friends to the end

Couple of wild boys

They told me they could hear the grass grow

Theo used to say, hey Henry, man

I’m screwin' this cat

You’re just holdin' it

I never knew what they was talking about

But they laughed like they both thought it was funny

Theo and weird Henry went chasing after something

And neither one of them believing in nothing

Moments in time they shared together

Called themselves the «He-man women lovers club,»

Throwin' pop bottles against the wall just to get some attention

There was a moment in time they swore they were friends until the end

Theo’s out there living it up doing a little earth shaking -somewhere

Henry sent a postcard from a better place

But I can see them both sitting there laughing and breathing

I can still see that smile on weird Henry’s face

Moments in time they shared together

Moments in time between two friends

Dancing on that old van with their shirts wide open

That was a moment in time they swore they were blood brothers until the end
