[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
