As he drove away on that rainy night I begged him to go slow But whether he heard, I’ll never know Look out! Look out! Look out! Look out! I felt so helpless, what could I do? Remembering all the things we’d been through In school they all stop and stare I can’t hide the tears, but I don’t care I’ll never forget him (the leader of the pack) The leader of the pack - now he’s gone ---
