what if somehow it turned out
that tomorrow’d gone and met someone and left us all alone
what would you do differently
if the daily news this afternoon said time’s runnin’ out like a marathon

yeah I guess it’s not so bad
‘cuz I’m having the best time that I ever had

forty acres burning like a dancing queen
what I mean is nobody knows
but the baker turning out the
shortenin’ bread while in his head got a tune hummin’ while he comes and goes

yeah at least I’m not alone
but it seems he gets off easy sayin’ so
yeah at least I’m not alone

CHORUS
yeah the moment passes by
yeah we sit around and consider why
yeah are you busy tonight

brother sister go walkin’
singin’, hand in hand through candy land while wicked witch come about
cooking dinner won’t you
set the table please, and on your knees I gotta broken oven could you help me out

yeah I guess it’s not so bad
(took a bite and she called me crazy, took a ride with the windows down)
I’m having the best time that I ever had
(you could be a farmboy’s princess and I could let it all hang out)
yeah I guess it’s not so bad

CHORUS

and I could be toolin’ around in a yellow Lamborghini
and I could be wasting away on the streets of New York City
and I could pretend I am a movie star, while tending bar in a country far away
and I could be tellin’ my teacher I didn’t cheat (hey)
and I could beggin’ for a little bit of food to eat
and I’ve got the meaning of life locked inside my head
and I could be dead

CHORUS
