I see the shapes,
|
I remember from maps.
|
I see the shoreline.
|
I see the whitecaps.
|
A baseball diamond, nice weather down there.
|
I see the school and the houses where the kids are.
|
Places to park by the fac'tries and buildings.
|
Restaunts and bar for later in the evening.
|
Then we come to the farmlands, and the undeveloped areas.
|
And I have learned how these things work together.
|
I see the parkway that passes through them all.
|
And I have learned how to look at these things and I say,
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
I wouldn't live there if you paid me.
|
I couldn't live like that, no siree!
|
I couldn't do the things the way those people do.
|
I couldn't live there if you paid me to.
|
|
I guess it's healthy, I guess the air is clean.
|
I guess those people have fun with their neighbors and friends.
|
Look at that kitchen and all of that food.
|
Look at them eat it' guess it tastes real good.
|
|
They grow it in the farmlands
|
And they take it to the stores
|
They put it in the car trunk
|
And they bring it back home
|
And I say...
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
I say, I wouldn't live there if you paid me.
|
I couldn't live like that, no siree!
|
I couldn't do the things the way those people do.
|
I wouldn't live there if you paid me to.
|
|
I'm tired of looking out the windows of the airplane
|
I'm tired of travelling, I want to be somewhere.
|
It's not even worth talking
|
About those people down there.
