D.B. Cooper-Todd Snider

作词 : Snider Snider D.B Cooper was 43 when we first heard his name 47 miles away from where he fell down to his fame But he told me that the hardest part wasn't really jumping out of the plane It was spending the night watching them lights shine through the pouring rain. They had a man hunt that next morning like nothing I had ever seen I was only eight years old at the time watching on a TV screen And they were saying he was never gonna make it now, now that daylight had set in But later that night they were shining those lights down on the mountain again. Not far away from the City of Roses They all watched those lights up through the rain For D.B. Cooper. Well, the cops blocked off all the exit roads and turned loose all of the hounds They even dragged the river up a couple of times to see if he had drowned With all those men working overtime they swore they would bring him down But a parachute and a few hundred dollars was all that they ever found. Not far away from the City of Roses They all watched those lights up through the rain. Now some people say that he died up there somewhere in the rain and the wind Other people say that he got away but then his girlfriend did him in The law men say if he is out there someday they're gonna bring him in As for me, I hope they never see D.B. Cooper again. Not far away from the City of Roses A light shined from a house out in the rain It was D.B. Cooper drinking champagne, drinking champagne.
