God Only Knows

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 shitty old town
All in all it's a shitty old town
But it's my shitty old town
And God only knows
God only knows
God only knows
If this is my home
