1
D.B. Cooper was 43 when we first heard his name
2
47 miles away from where he fell down to his fame
3
He told me that the hardest part
4
Wasn't really jumping out of that plane
5
It was spending the night
6
Watching those lights
7
Shine through the pouring rain
8
They had a manhunt that next morning
9
Like nothing I had ever seen
10
I was only eight years old at the time
11
Watching on the TV screen
12
They were saying he was never going to make it now
13
Now the daylight had set in
14
But later that night
15
They were shining lights
16
Down on the mountain again
17
Not far away from the City of Roses
18
They all watched those lights up through the rain
19
For D.B. Cooper
20
Well, the cops blocked off all the exit roads
21
And they turned out all of the hounds
22
They even dragged the river up a couple of times
23
To see if he had drowned
24
With all those men working overtime
25
They swore they would bring him down
26
But a parachute and a few hundred dollars
27
Was all that they ever found
28
Not far away from the City of Roses
29
They all watched those lights up through the rain
30
Now, some people say that he died up there
31
Somewhere in the rain in the wind
32
Other people say that he got away
33
But then his girlfriend did him in
34
The law men say if he is out there
35
Some day they're going to drag him in
36
But as for me, I hope they never see
37
D.B. Cooper again
38
Not far away from the City of Roses
39
Lights shine from a house out in the rain
40
It was D.B. Cooper
41
Drinking champagne
