D.B. Cooper by Todd Snider
FD.B. Cooper was G43 when Fwe first heard his nFame.
F47 miles Gaway from where he Ffell down to his Gfame.
But Fhe told me that the Ghardest part wasn't Freally jumping out of the Fplane.
It was Fspending the night, Fwatching them lights Gshine through the pouring Frain.

They had a manhunt that next morning like nothing I had ever seen.||
FI was only 8 years Gold at the time, Fwatching on the tv Gscreen.
They were Fsaying he was never gonna Gmake it now, now that Fdaylight had set Fin.
But Flater that night they were Fshining a light Gdown on the mountain Fagain.
(chorus)
FNot far Faway, Ffrom the city of Froses, Fthey all watched those Dminlights up through the Grain.

For G.E. Cooper.
Well, the Fcops blocked off all the Gexit roads and Fturned out all of the Fhounds.
They Feven dragged the river up a Gcouple of times to Fsee if he hit Gground.
With Fall of those men working Govertime well they Fswore they would bring him Fdown.
But a Fparachute and a Ffew hundred dollars is Gall that they've ever Ffound.
(chorus)
FNot far Faway, Ffrom the city of Froses, Fthey all watched those Dminlights up through the Grain. G
Now Fsome people say that he Gdied up there, someFwhere in the rain and the Fwind.
FOther people say that he Ggot away, but then his Fgirlfriend did him Gin.
The Flawmen say if he Gis out there, someFday they're gonna drag him Fin.
FAs for me, I hope they Fnever see, GD.B. Cooper Fagain.
(chorus)
FNot far Faway, Ffrom the city of Froses, a Flight shines from a Dminhouse out in the Grain.
