Live Those Songs

Saw him sittin' on a side walk in Fresno
 Braided hair and a tie-dyed t-shirt on
 Talkin' to himself about Vietnam
 'Bout the tour he did and the deal he got
 He said, "This world ain't the same if you ask me"
 If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be.
 I'd be rollin' on a river with Cree dance
 Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
 I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach
 In the spring of '72
 I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay
 Watchin' the tide roll in
 He said, "What I wouldn't give just to live those songs, again"

 Saw him workin' the counter at Walgreens
 With a new haircut and a Bachelor's Degree
 Talkin' to himself about his raw deal
 Cussin' Uncle Sam and the GI bill
 He said, "This world ain't the same if you ask me"
 If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be
 I'd be rollin' on a river with Cree dance
 Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
 I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach
 In the spring of '72
 I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay
 Watchin' the tide roll in
