D.B. Cooper was 43 when we first heard his name 47 miles away from where he fell down to his fame He told me that the hardest part Wasn't really jumping out of that plane It was spending the night Watching those lights Shine through the pouring rain They had a manhunt that next morning Like nothing I had ever seen I was only eight years old at the time Watching on the TV screen They were saying he was never going to make it now Now the daylight had set in But later that night They were shining lights Down on the mountain again Not far away from the City of Roses They all watched those lights up through the rain For D.B. Cooper Well, the cops blocked off all the exit roads And they turned out all of the hounds They even dragged the river up a couple of times To see if he had drowned With all those men working overtime They swore they would bring him down But a parachute and a few hundred dollars Was all that they ever found Not far away from the City of Roses They all watched those lights up through the rain Now, some people say that he died up there Somewhere in the rain in the wind Other people say that he got away But then his girlfriend did him in The law men say if he is out there Some day they're going to drag him in But as for me, I hope they never see D.B. Cooper again Not far away from the City of Roses Lights shine from a house out in the rain It was D.B. Cooper Drinking champagne
