"Frankie kicked a mine the day that mankind kicked the moon,
God help me, he was going home in June."
I get that it rhymes, but I take "mankind kicked the moon" as a reference to the first moon landing, which of course, was in July of 1969. So, Frankie was going home in 11 more months? Hell, anything could've happened in that time.
But damn, that song gave me chills listening to it. Thanks for pointing it out.
