Strum
D-DU-UDU
Flyin' east on a plane...
Drinkin' all that free champagne
Guess I saw this comin' down the line...
And I know it should be fun, but
I think I should have packed my gun,
Got that old suburban showdown in my mind.
----I've Been Gone for a while,
made some changes in my style
and they say you can't go home anymore...
Well the streets all look the same,
and I'll have to play the game
We'll all sit around in the kitchen chairs
with the tv on
with the neighbors there...
- - ------- -> -
Out in the yard...
Where my Dad works so hard
He never lets the crab-grass grow too high
Well the place hasn't changed and that's
why I'm gonna feel so strange,
but I've had to face the music, by and by...
We'll fly into town, when
this big-bird touches down...
I'm only coming home to say godbye,
Then I'm gone with the wind, and I
won't be seen again...
'till that great suburban showdown in the sky.
