Five and Dime

Everyone in this town is saying the same thing,

Wait 'til tomorrow, see what that brings.

The moon rises, brings surprises to this small town.

Johnny waits in line for the number nine

Talks aloud, remembering simpler times

When a girl was on his arm

And the world was full of charm

And the sun coming up, meant a better day

He says take me back

To a time I knew before

Before I opened my eyes and knew I wanted more.

Anny waits in line at the five and dime

The men stare, she says she doesn't mind

There's seven mouths to feed

And she wears it on her sleeve

And she remembers the day she said she was gonna leave.

She says take me back

To a time I knew before

Before I opened my eyes and knew I wanted more.

Ooh, it's tough to follow,

Time's not easy to swallow

And we all long for yesterday.

We said take us back

To a time we knew before

Before we opened our eyes and knew we wanted more.
