(Nothing) But Flowers

Dairy Queens, and 7-Eleven's
Nobody paid much attention
Car's have run on gasoline

Now, it's nothing but flowers
I'd pretend I was a billboard
If this is paradise
Don't leave me stranded here
This was a discount store
Now we got something for dinner

Two fools in love so beautiful and strong
You got it, you got it

Sacrificed for agriculture

I wish I had a lawnmower
This was a Pizza Hut
Once there were parking lots
The birds in the trees are smiling upon them
I guess that we'd start over
Now, it's nothing but flowers
Now it's all covered with flowers
Where, where have they gone?
Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
Now it's only fields and trees
You got it, you got it
And as things fell apart
You got it, you got it

Now there are mountains and rivers

You got it, you got it

You got it, you got it
From the age of the dinosaurs
You got it, you got it
We got it, we got it
Now it's all covered with daisies
Standing tall by the side of the road

I dream of cherry pies
This used to be real estate
Years ago I was an angry young man

Now we just eat nuts and berries

Where, where is the town
I fell in love with a beautiful highway

There was a factory
The highways and cars

We used to microwave
You got it, you got it
You've got it, you've got it
You got it, you got it
We caught a rattlesnake
Now it's turned into a cornfield
You've got it, you've got it
There was a shopping mall

But I guess I was wrong
I miss the honky tonks,

Now it's a peaceful oasis
