I was around when there wasnt houses there.
A5
I heard the sound when they cleared the land right there.

I saw the sunrise, before the town was there.
A5
I saw the city man put in the parking square

In between my classes or after a day at work

I throw my board in, and go and check the Surf.
E5                                  D5

I get a ticket for bein in a metered space

Is that just something old people say?

Well I must be getting old these days
B5
Cuz I am beginning to notice the change.
C5                             G5
This cant continue, dont you know.

Lets give our children room to grow.

This cant continue, dont you know.

Lets give our children room to grow.
