I got this song free on iTunes and I've fallen in love with it! I think this song's about a teenage boy that was a troublemaker in high school. So he gets sent away to a summer camp. He meets a girl there while exploring the riverbed with the same issues as him and falls in love with her. He grows out of his ways and moves on, but he'd give it all up to be back with her. Later he hears that she has drowned in the river so he gets dressed up in his "gabardine"'s to go to her funeral. Idk, just my view. And "main drag" is slang for a town's main street. |
