AS LONG AS I REMEMBER
LIFE’S BEEN GOOD TO ME
JUST MAKES ME WONDER
WHAT THE FEATURE IS GOING TO BE
HAZY CRAZE TAKEN OVER
I WANT’A LEAVE ALL THE GOOD
WALK RIGHT OUTAND START OVER
BACK TO THE PLACE WHERE I WAS BORN
IN THE WOODS
I WAS FOURTEEN
WHEN MY PA SAY’S TO ME
YOU OUGHT TO BE GLAD WHERE YOUR AT
YOUR ALIVE AND WELL AND WORM AND FREE
NOW THAT’S MORE THAN OTHERS GOT
CHANGE YOUR WAYS BEFORE YOUR OLDER
REALIZE WHERE YOUR AT
AND NEVER BECOME A SOLDER
AND DO THE THINGS THAT WERE WRONG
THAT I’VE DONE
LATELY YA KNOW I WANT TO LEAVE MY MIND
AND TAKE A LITTLE TRIP IN TIME
BACK WHERE I SPENT MOST MY LIFE
AS A KID
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED
THREW THE FIELDS AT HARVEST TIME
CHRISTMAS IS IN THE CITY
OPEN MARKET FOR THE PINE
CRAZY FACES TAKEN OVER
DON’T YOU KNOW THE COMMERCIALS LIES
MAKES YOU WANT TO START RIGHT OVER
BEFORE IT VANISHES FROM OUR EYES
YOU SAY THAT WAR IS OVER
NO MORE SHALL DIE
WELL YA KNOW THAT WAR’S NOT OVER
AND YOU KNOW THE REASON WHY
CRAZY HAZE TAKEN OVER
YOU CAN SMELL IT IN THE AIR
MAKES YOU WANT TO START RIGHT OVER
AND DO THE THINGS THAT WERE WRONG
AS A CHILD
