Indian Summer Lyrics

The tall weeds laid flat down
On the hard, flat Kansas ground
And the sad song in her head
Kept blowing 'round

She barely even knew his name
But she liked the way he played the game
Everybody cheered when he scored
That last touchdown

Indian summer
The wonder, the hunger
And the sound of distant thunder
Indian summer

Tangled in a moment of truth
Bottle of wine in a motel room
Blue haze circled 'round
The cold, gray moon

While the wind chased the leaves outside
Passion found a place to hide
Late September heat
couldn't be denied

Oh Indian summer
The wonder, the hunger
And the sound of distant thunder
Indian summer

She never even finished school
People like to talk, they can be so cruel
Her California was a place to start brand new

So she left that dust bowl town
Sometimes when the lone wind howls
I wonder where we'd be
If I never scored that last touchdown.

Summer
The wonder, the hunger
And the sound of distant thunder
Indian summer

Ohhhhhhhhh

I think it means that he knocked her up and she was from a different school so they really didnt know eachother but they still fell in love and when she found out she was prego she decided to flee to cali and he wanted to go but when he scored that last touchdown she realized he had a better chance of a future without her and her kid so she left without him... well at least thats what i think comment back and lemme know what yall think

I couldnt really figure this song out at first but i think i get it now. its kind of sad.. its just her falling in love and getting pregnant and having to start over somewhere new.

It's from the guy's point of view looking back ( I wonder where we'd be if I never scored that last touchdown) It's about a guy and a girl from 2 rival schools, the girl's a cheerleader, and the guy's a quarterback.. They met during summer, fell in love, she finds out she's pregnant.. He makes the winning touchdown ( at a game with scouts from big schools); she thinks it would be best for his future if her and her unborn child were to move away w/o him knowing. He was already willing to runaway with her so I'm assuming if he knew about the pregnancy, he would obviously go with her.. In the video it shows her in front of his house contemplating on whether she should get him or drive way (she drives away).. I'm almost certain I've got the description correct..
