The Moon Struck One

Julie and little John Tyler lived in the house next door We would be the great triangle, to this we swore Julie was my sweetheart, little John was my cohort And all the wild horses in the world couldn't keep us apart Once we went for a swim in the noonday sun And promised to return before the moon struck one Julie came runnin' through the pasture, oh she was screaming at the sky She fell down to her knees and the tears did fly Little John was stung by a snake over by the lake And it looked like he was really, really hurt, he was lying in the dirt Oh, we went it as fast as we could run But we lost little John as the moon struck one I was vacant, Julie was a bird with a broken wing And we were always afraid of what tomorrow might bring We'll drive down to Durango and leave this place And maybe forget the triangle with a change of pace Oh, the car broke down when we'd just begun And we walked back to the house, oh the moon struck one One
