[length: 05:36]
[00:44.39]Here we stand
[00:47.75]Like an Adam and an Eve
[00:52.28]Waterfalls
[00:55.79]The Garden of Eden
[00:59.75]Two fools in love
[01:04.04]So beautiful and strong
[01:08.44]The birds in the trees
[01:11.84]Are smiling upon them
[01:15.74]From the age of the dinosaurs
[01:19.28]Cars have run on gasoline
[01:23.54]Where, where have they gone?
[01:27.31]Now, it’s nothing but flowers
[01:31.77]There was a factory
[01:33.62]Now, there are mountains and rivers
[01:37.42]You got it, you got it
[01:39.84]We caught a rattlesnake
[01:41.76]Now, we got something for dinner
[01:45.67]We got it, we got it
[01:48.09]There was a shopping mall
[01:49.88]Now, it’s all covered with flowers
[01:53.92]You’ve got it, you’ve got it
[01:55.52]If this is paradise
[01:57.98]I wish I had a lawnmower
[02:02.18]You’ve got it, you’ve got it
[02:06.25]
[02:12.50]Years ago
[02:16.00]I was an angry young man
[02:20.56]I’d pretend
[02:24.13]That I was a billboard
[02:28.46]Standing tall
[02:32.13]By the side of the road
[02:35.95]I fell in love
[02:39.66]With a beautiful highway
[02:44.08]This used to be real estate
[02:46.97]Now, it’s only fields and trees
[02:51.36]Where, where is the town?
[02:55.27]Now, it’s nothing but flowers
[03:00.16]The highways and cars
[03:03.72]Were sacrificed for agriculture
[03:07.71]I thought that we’d start over
[03:11.65]But I guess I was wrong, hey
[03:15.84]Once there were parking lots
[03:18.18]Now, it’s a peaceful oasis
[03:21.95]You got it, you got it
[03:23.89]This was a Pizza Hut
[03:25.82]Now, it’s all covered with daisies
[03:29.98]You got it, you got it
[03:31.83]I miss the honky tonks
[03:33.68]Dairy Queens and Seven-Elevens
[03:37.55]You got it, you got it
[03:39.83]And as things fell apart
[03:41.87]Nobody paid much attention
[03:45.67]You got it, you got it
[03:48.86]
[04:59.25]I dream of cherry pies
[05:01.06]Candy bars and chocolate chip cookies
[05:04.96]You got it, you got it
[05:06.85]We used to microwave
[05:08.66]Now, we just eat nuts and berries
[05:12.82]You got it, you got it
[05:14.79]This was a discount store
[05:16.63]Now, it’s turned into a cornfield
[05:20.45]You got it, you got it
[05:22.84]Don’t leave me stranded here
[05:24.79]I can’t get used to this lifestyle
