John Mellencamp - Theo and Weird Henry Lyrics

Henry worked at sears or somewhere, Theo did, too
They both got themselves a van together 1972, Ford
Drove around all night long playing music very, very loud
Big noise, all the time little legends in a little town

Moments of time they shared together
Moments of time between two friends
Standing on street corners with shirts unbuttoned
There was a moment in time they swore
They were friends to the end

Couple of wild boys
They told me they could hear the grass grow
Theo used to say, "Hey Henry, man
I'm screwin' this cat, you're just holdin' it"

I never knew what they was talking about
But they laughed like they both thought it was funny
Theo and weird henry went chasing after something
And neither one of them believing in nothing

Moments in time they shared together
Called themselves, 'The He-Man Women Lovers Club'
Throwin' pop bottles against the wall just to get some attention
There was a moment in time they swore
They were friends until the end

Theo's out there living it up doing a little earth shaking somewhere
Henry sent a postcard from a better place
But I can see them both sitting there laughing and breathing
And I can still see that smile on weird Henry's face

Moments in time they shared together
Moments in time between two friends
Dancing on that old van with their shirts wide open
And that was a moment in time they swore
They were blood brothers until the end
