Lyrics Kenny Chesney – Live Those Songs
Text:
Saw him sittin on a sidewalk in Fresno
Braided hair and a tye-dyed t-shirt on
Talkin to himself about Vietnam
About the tour he did and the deal he got
If I could be somewhere else, I’d tell you where I’d be
I’d be rollin’ on a river with Credence
Stealin’ kisses from Peggy Sue
I’d be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach
In the spring of ’72
I’d be wastin’ away on the dock of the bay
Watchin’ the tide roll in
He said what I wouldn’t give just to live those songs again.
Saw him workin’ the counter at Walgreens
With a new haircut and a Bachelor’s Degree
Talkin’ to himself about his raw deal
Cussin’ 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’d tell you where I’d be
I’d be rollin’ on a river with Credence
Stealin’ kisses from Peggy Sue
I’d be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach
In the spring of ’72
I’d be wastin’ away on the dock of the bay
Watchin’ the tide roll in
He said what I wouldn’t give just to live those songs again.
He said This world ain’t the same if you ask me
If I could be somewhere else, I’d tell you where I’d be
I’d be rollin’ on a river with Credence
Stealin’ kisses from Peggy Sue
In the spring of ’72
I’d be wastin’ away on the dock of the bay
Watchin’ the tide roll in
He said what I wouldn’t give just to live those songs again.
