Moon Over Goldsboro

This song is a humdinger for me, so emotional, one of the best by the Mountain Goats but nothing I actually want to hear.  But it starts like this, so I think about it all the time now that kids are cheering and screaming at the high school which is one block over.

I went down to the gas staion
for no particular reason,
heard the screams from the high school--
it's football season.
