C Em Here we stand like an Adam and an Eve Dm G Waterfalls, the Garden of Eden C Em Two fools in love so beautiful and strong Dm G The birds in the trees are smiling upon them B Em B Em From the age of the dinosaurs cars have run on gasoline C Em C Dm Where, where have they gone? Now, it's nothing but flowers C G F C There was a factory, now there are mountains and rivers G F You got it, you got it C G F C We caught a rattlesnake, now we've got something for dinner G F You got it, you got it D A G D There was a shopping mall, now it's all covered with flowers A G You got it, you got it D A G D If this is paradise, I wish I had a lawnmower A G You got it, you got it C Em Years ago I was an angry young man Dm G I'd pretend that I was a billboard C Em Standing tall by the side of the road Dm G I fell in love with a beautiful highway B Em B Em This used to be real estate, now it's only fields and trees C Em C Dm Where, where is the town? Now, it's nothing but flowers Dm A Dm A The highways and cars were sacrificed for agriculture Fm C Fm G I thought that we'd start all over, but I guess I was wrong C G F C Once there were parking lots, now it's a peaceful oasis G F You got it, you got it C G F C This was a Pizza Hut, now it's all covered with daisies G F You got it, you got it D A G D I miss the Honky Tonks, Dairy Queens and 7-Elevens A G You got it, you got it D A G D And as things fell apart, nobody payed much attention A G You got it, you got it D A G D I dream of cherry pies, candy bars and chocolate chip cookies A G You got it, you got it D A G D We used to microwave, now we just eat nuts and berries A G You got it, you got it D A G D This was a discount store, now it's turned into a cornfield A G You got it, you got it D A G D Don't leave me stranded here, I can't get used to this lifestyle
