CONCEPT
These people are too stupid to be alive.
Why on earth wasn’t his class ring on her finger in the first place? There is a plausible answer to that question; it involves the two of them being frisky (so much for the innocent early days of Rock and Roll). But if that’s the case, who gets frisky in a car parked on an active railroad crossing? If they weren’t getting frisky, where was the stupid ring (about which she cared so much) in the first place? And all this is on top of the idiocy of flirting with a train for a class ring in the first place. He could get another. Or who knows, the ring might ever survive the dance with the train. More likely than some sweet sixteen-year-old. Finally, what was the guy (who cares about his girlfriend so much) doing while she was rooting around for the ring? He just says “she went back.” Is something more sinister at work, or (as the song seems to suggest) is he a clueless bumpkin who doesn’t know when his one true love decides to go play tackle football with seven hundred tons of raging steel at sixty miles per hour.
Am I wrong?
Are the people in this song anything other than mindless idiots?
