The tall weeds lay flat down
On the hard flat Kansas ground
And a sad song in her head,
Kept goin' round
She barely even knew his name,
But she liked the way he
Played the game
Everybody cheered,
When he scored that
Last touchdown
Indian Summer,
The wonder,
The hunger,
And the sound of distant thunder
Indian Summer
Tangled in a moment of truth
Bottle of wine in a motel room
Blue haze circled 'round
The cold gray moon
While the wind chased
The leaves outside
Passion found a place to hide
Late September heat,
Couldn't be denied
Oh Indian Summer,
The wonder,
The hunger,
And the sound of distant thunder
Indian Summer
She never even finished school
People like to talk, they
Can be so cruel
Her California was a place,
To start brand new
So she left that dust bowl town
Sometimes when the lone wind howls
I wonder where we'd be,
If I never scored that last
Touchdown
Summer
The wonder,
The hunger,
And the sound of distant thunder
Indian Summer
