Live Those Songs Songtext
von Kenny Chesney

Saw him sittin′ on a side walk in Fresno
Braided hair and a tie-dyed t-shirt on
Talkin' to himself about Vietnam
′Bout the tour he did and the deal he got
He said, "This world ain't the same if you ask me"
If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I′d be.

I′d be rollin' on a river with Cree dance
Stealin′ kisses from Peggy Sue
I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach
In the spring of ′72
I'd be wastin′ away on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll in
He said, "What I wouldn't give just to live those songs, again"


Saw him workin′ the counter at Walgreens
With a new haircut and a Bachelor′s Degree
Talkin' to himself about his raw deal
Cussin′ Uncle Sam and the GI bill
He said, "This world ain't the same if you ask me"
If I could be somewhere else, I′d tell you where I'd be

I′d be rollin' on a river with Cree dance
Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
I′d be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach
In the spring of ′72
I'd be wastin′ away on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll in
He said, What I wouldn′t give just to live those songs, again

He said, "This world ain't the same if you ask me"
If I could be somewhere else, I′d tell you where I'd be

I'd be rollin′ on a river with Cree dance
Stealin′ kisses from Peggy Sue
I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach
In the spring of ′72
I'd be wastin′ away on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll in
He said, "What I wouldn′t give just to live those songs, again"
Oh, again
