    Story Behind the Song
    "Never let the truth stand in the way of a good story..." There's a lot of truth in this song.

    Lyrics
    Pennsylvania Nights
    ©August 1997, Paul Epstein


    Me and Artie, close as two boys get
    Blood brothers, we knew eachother’s secrets
    He was small, daring and strong
    Sometimes I followed him down roads I knew were wrong (on those)

    Chorus:
    Pennsylvania nights
    Take me back to those simple days
    Without cares, without fears
    We wandered through those Pennsylvania nights


    Slippin out the back door in the summer time
    Grass wet with dew and the moon is shinin’
    Crickets chirp, distant highway sings
    We saunter through the streets with no regard for anything

    Chorus:

    Bridge:
    And in the cold light of day, when the mist fades away
    I remember where our misadventures led
    From juvenile pranks, we graduated through the ranks
    Larceny is what the warrant said.

    Chorus:

    After High School, I never looked back
    He joined the marines while I was on a different track
    In the early morning, the glare of street lights
    My thoughts return to those Pennsylvania nights.

    Chorus:

    Artie flew a chopper, back in Vietnam.
    He survived the worst of it, the gunfire drugs and a three year stint
    Stateside he went wild til he met Fran and settled down
    Then the med-vac chopper that he flew went down near Allentown

    Chorus:
