lyrics

A LONG TIME AGO

A long time ago…

You could hitch from NY city to SanFrancisco Bay
meet a lot of friendly folks all along the way
No one locked their doors at night and kids could walk to school
the pharmacist was a friend of mine & Elvis was really cool

A long time ,a long time ago…

Her hair was soft & long, she walked upon the light
a stairway to heaven, a vagabonds delight
The future went ahead of us like a diamond coated road
nothin’ to loose, nothin’ to hold

A long time ,a long, long ,long time ago …

I remember grandma ,how her face it turned so pale
when I told her I was off to ‘Nam or they’ed slap my ass in jail
I wasn’t trying to be a hero, just defending my good name
but all my friends were dyin’ ,it all went up in flames

A long time
Along, long ,long time ago

A long time ago …
