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