[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]

[00:45.78]	Here we stand
