Live Those Songs

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Saw him sitting on a sidewalk in Fresno Braided hair and a tie-dyed T-shirt on Talking to himself about Vietnam About the tour he did and the deal he got He said, "This world ain't the same if you ask me If I could be somewhere else, I'll tell you where I'd be" [Chorus] I'd be rolling on a river with Credence Stealing kisses from Peggy Sue I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach in the spring of '72 I'd be wasting away on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll in He said, "What I wouldn't give just to live those songs again" [Verse 2] Saw him working the counter at Walgreen's With a new haircut and a bachelor's degree Talking to himself about his raw deal Cursing Uncle Sam and the GI bill He said, "This world ain't the same if you ask me If I could be somewhere else, I'll tell you where I'd be" [Chorus] I'd be rolling on a river with Credence Stealing kisses from Peggy Sue I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach in the spring of '72 I'd be wasting away on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll in He said, "What I wouldn't give just to live those songs again" [Bridge] He said, "This world ain't the same if you ask me If I could be somewhere else, I'll tell you where I'd be" [Chorus] I'd be rolling on a river with Credence Stealing kisses from Peggy Sue I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach in the spring of '72 I'd be wasting away on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll in He said, "What I wouldn't give just to live those songs again" Oh, again
