C5            E5 
Here we stand like an Adam and an Eve 
D5           G5 
Waterfalls, the Garden of Eden 
C5               E5 
Two fools in love so beautiful and strong 
D5                    G5 
The birds in the trees are smiling upon them 
B5                      E5                B5        E5 
From the age of the dinosaurs cars have run on gasoline 
C5        E5                   C5          D5 
Where, where have they gone? Now, it's nothing but flowers 
C5                   G5                  F5           C5 
There was a factory, now there are mountains and rivers 
G5            F5 
You got it, you got it 
C5                       G5                 F5            C5 
We caught a rattlesnake, now we've got something for dinner 
G5            F5 
You got it, you got it 
D5                         A5                G5            D5 
There was a shopping mall, now it's all covered with flowers 
A5            G5 
You got it, you got it 
D5                   A5          G5        D5 
If this is paradise, I wish I had a lawnmower 
A5            G5 
You got it, you got it 
C5         E5 
Years ago I was an angry young man 
D5         G5 
I'd pretend that I was a billboard 
C5            E5 
Standing tall by the side of the road 
D5              G5 
I fell in love with a beautiful highway 
B5                E5                    B5               E5 
This used to be real estate, now it's only fields and trees 
C5       E5                 C5          D5 
Where, where is the town? Now, it's nothing but flowers 
D5                A5            D5             A5 
The highways and cars were sacrificed for agriculture 
F5                             C5   F5                   G5 
I thought that we'd start all over, but I guess I was wrong 
C5                      G5                    F5       C5 
Once there were parking lots, now it's a peaceful oasis 
G5            F5 
You got it, you got it 
C5                    G5               F5             C5 
This was a Pizza Hut, now it's all covered with daisies 
G5            F5 
You got it, you got it 
D5                         A5              G5    D5 
I miss the Honky Tonks, Dairy Queens and 7-Elevens 
A5            G5 
You got it, you got it 
D5                           A5      G5           D5 
And as things fell apart, nobody payed much attention 
A5            G5 
You got it, you got it 
D5                         A5               G5              D5 
I dream of cherry pies, candy bars and chocolate chip cookies 
A5            G5 
You got it, you got it 
D5                      A5           G5              D5 
We used to microwave, now we just eat nuts and berries 
A5            G5 
You got it, you got it 
D5                           A5               G5         D5 
This was a discount store, now it's turned into a cornfield 
A5            G5 
You got it, you got it 
D5                             A5            G5              D5 
Don't leave me stranded here, I can't get used to this lifestyle
