God Only Knows
Spring has come
Another generation

Is leaving town
While another returns home


They never meet half the way
One never listens to what the other says
The way it's always been

In the past and in eternity

I used to be one of them

Young enough to know the way
But the black and white world fades
Ending up in a mess of grey


Because god only knows
God only knows

God only knows
What's right or wrong


These are the fields
I used to run through as a child
In a different light

And a less complicated frame of mind

But as I take my daughters hand

And let her lead me through them
I'm there once again
All dressed up like an indian


Nothing really changes
Especially not around here

Now I'm old enough to know better

Because god only knows

God only knows
God only knows
What's right or wrong

God only knows
God only knows
God only knows

If this is my home

Old guys, with their young Thai wifes

Driving by in their pick up trucks
I won't move, no I won't move
Living dead, old friends

I gave them all up long, long time ago

And all in all it's a %#@!ty old town

All in all it's a %#@!ty old town
But it's my %#@!ty old town
And God only knows

God only knows
God only knows
If this is my home
