He said This world ain't the same, if you ask me
If I could be somewhere else
I'll tell ya where I'd be
(Chorus)
I'd be rolling on the river with Credence
Stealing kisses from Peggy-Sue
I'd be knee deep in sand
On a Panama beach in the spring of '72
And 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 yeah!
Saw him working the counter at Walgreens
With a new hair cut
And a Bachelor degree
Talking 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'll tell you where I'd be
(Chorus)
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
(Chorus)
