about

OUT IN THE WOODS FOR THE WEEKEND (sung by Case, played by Laura Jean)
…we never knew Mary had a gun, we never knew where she got it from. Case recalls a night with Mary, driving through the northern range.

lyrics

Mary and I went for a drive , for something to do on a Friday night
With a bottle or two and cigarettes, and a couple of boys I’d never met
Out on the north road, out of a dead town, we found them both waiting for us, as off in the distance all the houselights, soon would all go out.
Mary’s intentions were all but kind for the boys that she bought along that night. I had no idea what they’d done to deserve what Mary had in mind.
Things became a little strange, when we hit a dear on the mountain range. He poor thing barely alive, laying down in the headlights. Soon we decided something had to be done. With that the driver returned from the car, carrying a gun. I watched her as she laid that thing to rest, and we all agreed it was best, and as it struggled on one last breath we all stood in silence.
Standing there in my despair, staring up to the stars, as those two boys unaware, we’re calling me back to the car. Mary and I went for a drive, for something to do on a Friday night, but I would’ve stayed home, had I’ve known what she had in mind
I mean what would you do with a gun?
Out in the woods for the weekend
Bringing other boys along
We don’t even know where they come from.
