| I see the shapes I remember from maps I see the shoreline I see the whitecaps A baseball diamond Nice weather down there I see the school And the houses where the kids are Places to park By the factories and buildings Restaurants and bars For later in the evening Then we come to the farmlands And the undeveloped areas And I have learned How these things work together I see the parkway That passes through them all And I have learned How to look at these things, and I say CHORUS I wouldn't live there if you paid me I wouldn't live like that, no siree I wouldn't do the things the way those people do I wouldn't live there if you paid me to I guess it's healthy I guess the air is clean I guess those people Have fun with their neighbors and friends Look at that kitchen And all of that food Look at them eat it I guess it tastes real good They buy it in the farmlands Then they bring it to the store They put it in the car trunks Then they bring it back home, and I say CHORUS I'm tired of looking Out the window of the airplane I'm tired of traveling I want to be somewhere It's not even worth talking About those people down there Goo-goo, ga-ga-ga Goo-goo, ga-ga-ga Goo-goo, ga-ga-ga Goo-goo, ga-ga-ga Goo-goo, ga-ga-ga Goo-goo, ga-ga-ga Goo-goo, ga-ga-ga Goo-goo, ga-ga-ga Goo-goo, ga-ga-ga Goo-goo, ga-ga-ga Goo-goo, ga-ga-ga Goo-goo-goo-goo, ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga | |
