Lyrics

[00:45.78] Here we stand
[00:48.89] Like an Adam and an Eve
[00:53.30] Waterfalls
[00:56.62] The Garden of Eden
[01:01.14] Two fools in love
[01:04.70] So beautiful and strong
[01:09.22] The birds in the trees
[01:12.57] Are smiling upon them
[01:16.84] From the age of the dinosaurs
[01:20.10] Cars have run on gasoline
[01:24.17] Where, where have they gone?
[01:28.18] Now, it's nothing but flowers
[01:32.69] There was a factory
[01:34.35] Now there are mountains and rivers
[01:38.76] You got it, you got it
[01:40.41] We caught a rattlesnake
[01:42.37] Now we got something for dinner
[01:46.83] We got it, we got it
[01:48.35] There was a shopping mall
[01:50.35] Now it's all covered with flowers
[01:54.75] You’ve got it, you’ve got it
[01:56.71] If this is paradise
[01:58.62] I wish I had a lawnmower
[02:02.57] You’ve got it, you’ve got it
[02:04.38]
[02:13.16] Years ago
[02:16.57] I was an angry young man
[02:20.25] I'd pretend
[02:24.36] That I was a billboard
[02:28.68] Standing tall
[02:32.59] By the side of the road
[02:36.19] I fell in love
[02:39.70] With a beautiful highway
[02:44.51] This used to be real estate
[02:47.83] Now it's only fields and trees
[02:52.10] Where, where is the town
[02:55.86] Now, it's nothing but flowers
[03:00.33] The highways and cars
[03:03.64] Were sacrificed for agriculture
[03:08.41] I thought that we'd start over
[03:12.16] But I guess I was wrong
[03:14.98] Once there were parking lots
[03:17.89] Now it's a peaceful oasis
[03:22.26] You got it, you got it
[03:24.03] This was a Pizza Hut
[03:25.83] Now it's all covered with daisies
[03:30.75] You got it, you got it
[03:31.81] I miss the honky tonks,
[03:33.71] Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
[03:38.37] You got it, you got it
[03:39.62] And as things fell apart
[03:41.63] Nobody paid much attention
[03:46.09] You got it, you got it
[03:47.95]
[05:00.34] I dream of cherry pies,
[05:02.00] Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
[05:06.37] You got it, you got it
[05:07.82] We used to microwave
[05:09.68] Now we just eat nuts and berries
[05:14.00] You got it, you got it
[05:15.71] This was a discount store,
[05:17.92] Now it's turned into a cornfield
[05:21.04] You got it, you got it
[05:23.70] Don't leave me stranded here
[05:25.66] I can't get used to this lifestyle
[05:30.63]
