Barely knew him in high school.
\nHe was a quiet, nice kid
\nMet him again years later
\nAfter I got out of the Air Force
\nHe had a trendy, hippie look
\nLong back hair down to his shoulders
\nSomething about his eyes was different
\nHe didn\u2019t look like the seemingly nice kid
\nLife appeared to have hardened him
\nAs I saw when I looked into his eyes
\nHe said he\u2019d been to jail
\nI didn\u2019t pry and ask what for
\nHe said he\u2019d be going back again
\nAnd he didn\u2019t care
\nHe had such conviction when he said it
\nThat I know he meant it
\nTo this day I cannot understand why
\nI cannot understand why any person
\nWould be perfectly okay with
\nGoing back to jail again
\nNever saw him again after that
\nBrief and reveal meeting
\nBut sometimes I wonder what
\nChanged that quiet, nice kid in high school<\/p>\n
