Live Those Songs

Saw him sittin' on a sidewalk in Fresno

Braided hair and a tye-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 Creedance

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 Creedance

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.

Watchin' the tide roll in

He said, What I wouldn't give just to live those songs, again...
