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:
