Intro

x3

 Saw him sittin on a sidewalk in Fresno

 Braided hair and a tye-dyed t-shirt on

Talkin to himself about Vietnam

 About the tour he did and the deal he got

 He said this world ain't the same if you ask me.

 If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be

Chorus

 I'd be rollin' on a river with Creedence

 Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue

 I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach

 In the spring of '72

 I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll in

 He said what I wouldn't give just to live those songs

again.

 Saw him workin' the counter at Walgreens

 With a new haircut and a Bachelor's Degree

Talkin' to himself about his raw deal

 Cussin' Uncle Sam and the GI bill

 He said this world ain't the same if you ask me

 If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be

 He said this world ain't the same if you ask me.

 If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be
