[00:00.00]With 75 Septembers come and gone
[00:23.13]In the year of the yellow cab
[00:27.24]In the shadow of the great world war
[00:30.92]The third kid grandmom had
[00:34.91]Came into this world
[00:38.42]On a rolling farm in Maryland
[00:42.60]When Wilson was the President
[00:46.47]And summer blew her goodbye through the trees
[00:53.15]
[00:54.33]A child of changing times
[00:57.89]Growing up between the wars
[01:01.95]The Fords rolled off the line
[01:05.84]And bars all closed their doors
[01:09.77]And I imagine you back then
[01:13.64]With snap brim hat and farmer's tan
[01:17.63]Where horses drew their wagons through the fields
[01:25.18]Now the fields are all four lanes
[01:28.92]And the moon's not just a name
[01:32.72]Are you more amazed at how things change
[01:37.40]Or how they stay the same
[01:39.85]And do you sit here on this porch and wonder
[01:44.67]How the time flies by
[01:48.12]Or does it seem to barely creep along
[01:55.98]With 75 Septembers come and gone
[02:05.15]
[02:15.26]Were the fields all gold and fawn
[02:18.50]Was the spring house dark and cool
[02:22.12]Did the rooster crow at dawn
[02:26.11]When they got you up for school
[02:29.98]And would you tell me once again
[02:34.09]The tales of granddad's hired men
[02:38.03]And how they drove the old road to town
[02:45.46]Now the fields are all four lanes
[02:49.42]And the moon's not just a name
[02:53.16]Are you more amazed at how things change
[02:57.90]Or how they stay the same
[03:00.40]And do you sit here on this porch and wonder
[03:05.08]How the time flies by
[03:08.85]Or does it seem to barely creep along
[03:16.83]With 75 Septembers come and gone
