Endom Bridge stands over
Ouachita River .. running swift
Debbie drove her four wheel drive
over the wall .. hit the ground far below
all of her kids and nephews survived
Preston rode his bicycle late at night
on the bridge .. wee morning hours
some say he was robbed
thrown over the edge
a week later he was found .. downstream
Tiffany turned sweet sixteen
partied hard with some freaks
word was everyone had gotten drunk
she .. her new car were last seen
jumping high .. over Endom Bridge's rail
Van was a pretty cool friend
before he went to a cult party
participated in a crazy, sadistic ritual
soon after .. he never was the same again
his family left him alone .. with a loaded rifle
one shell casing was found beside him .. near the river
when I sit on the river's bank
Ice cold Heineken .. tastes quite pleasant
faded memories rush through my mind
their spirits forever .. scream out loud
I open another one .. take a long drink
different times .. same place
Endom Bridge
