Saw him sittin on a sidewalk in Fresno
|
Braided hair and a tye-dyed t-shirt on
|
Talkin to himself about Vietnam
|
About 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 Credence
|
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 Credence
|
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
|
