Remember when the days were long

And rolled beneath a deep blue sky

Didn't have a care in the world

With mommy and daddy standin' by

But "happily ever after" fails

The lawyers dwell on small details

Since daddy had to fly

Still untouched by men

And the tall grass waves in the wind

You can lay your head back on the ground

O' beautiful, for spacious skies

Now those skies are threatening

They're beating plowshares into swords

For this tired old man that we elected king

Armchair warriors often fail

The lawyers clean up all details

Since daddy had to lie

And wash away this sin

And tall grass waves in the wind

And let your hair spill all around me

Oh, who knows how long this will last

Now we've come so far, so fast

But somewhere back there in the dust

That same small town in each of us

I need to remember this

So baby, give me just one kiss

And let me take a long last look

Before we say goodbye

Oh nah nah

Naaah
