Lyric discussion by jdog40 

have to agree with everyone elses love of the song anyone every thought about the lines "Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind. Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up."? to me it always seemed like something just happened to someone in the courthouse wether they deserived it or not people are sad because of it and the band is trying to bring up peoples spirts. the whole song seems like they are trying to forget or to just get over what happened in the courthouse keep in mind all of the segregation and supreme court desisions that just happened when this song was writtin.

The Courthouse is only a place...The Band was playng near the Courthouse, I guess...

@jdog40 In a smaller town the courthouse is usually at the center of town. I'm picturing these kids playing at the courthouse square.
