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.
