| [00:16.44] |
In the year of the yellow cab |
| [00:20.97] |
Shadow of the great world war |
| [00:25.02] |
The third kid grandmom had |
| [00:29.58] |
Came into this world |
| [00:33.03] |
On a rolling farm in Maryland |
| [00:37.44] |
When Wilson was the president |
| [00:41.70] |
As summer blew her goodbye through the trees |
| [00:46.89] |
A child of changing times |
| [00:54.39] |
Growing up between the wars |
| [00:59.19] |
Fords rolled off the lines |
| [01:02.88] |
And bars all closed their doors |
| [01:07.11] |
And I imagine you back then |
| [01:11.31] |
With snap brim hat and farmer's tan |
| [01:15.54] |
Where horses drew their wagons through the fields |
| [01:23.37] |
Now the fields are all four lanes |
| [01:28.08] |
And the moon's not just a name |
| [01:32.22] |
Are you more amazed at how things change |
| [01:36.93] |
Or how they stay the same |
| [01:39.96] |
And do you sit here on this porch and wonder |
| [01:45.18] |
How the time flies by |
| [01:49.35] |
Or does it seem to barely creep along |
| [01:57.45] |
With 75 Septembers come and gone |
| [02:18.09] |
Were the fields all gold and fawn |
| [02:22.68] |
Was the spring house dark and cool |
| [02:26.97] |
Did the rooster crow at dawn |
| [02:31.02] |
When they got you up for school |
| [02:35.64] |
And would you tell me once again |
| [02:39.81] |
The tales of granddad's hired men |
| [02:44.13] |
And how they drove the old dirt road to town |
| [02:51.63] |
Cause now the fields are all four lanes |
| [02:56.34] |
And the moon's not just a name |
| [03:00.42] |
Are you more amazed at how things change |
| [03:04.86] |
Or how they stay the same |
| [03:08.07] |
And do you sit here on this porch and wonder |
| [03:13.26] |
How the times flies by |
| [03:17.49] |
Or does it seem to barely creep along |
| [03:26.13] |
With 75 Septembers come and gone |
| [03:46.20] |
In the year of the yellow cab |
| [03:50.88] |
Shadow of the great world war |
