Lyrics
From underneath ..............................................
She wanted to move She wanted to try something new She wanted to live in san francisco In a place with a view
She wanted the sound. she wanted the life all around She wanted the fun and the action of a livelier town But he..
He would still disagree 'Cause he loved the stillness of morning And the wind in the trees He needed the stars. he needed to say: "this is ours." And look at a field and a pasture And a road with no cars
He wanted a farm. he wanted a horse in a barn He wanted a life in the country, far from the town So they..
They chose to stay; They found a place where they hoped They might both have their way
Surprise! but that compromise Was a life in the suburbs That they both could despise With nothing of either, yes and too much of each
The things that they wanted were both out of reach: No land for the garden, but too far from the stores No new folk to talk to, but loud neighbors next door Though traffic was endless, no one stepped outside An outpost of loners who've come there to hide Now why they stayed, all those years The answer can't be found But there they were, there they fought And there they stood their ground In my hometown
