Lyrics to Cedar Lane
Cedar Lane Video:
I come from a town twelve miles from the city, call it Anytown, USA We had a two-story house on a half-acre lot With a yard where the kids could play, A dog and a toad and a parakeet And a dad who rode the commuter train Twice every day, five days a week Back on Cedar Lane With the brains of a child and the blood of a rebel I stormed right through those times I was reading Alan Ginsberg I was drinking Boones Farm Wine And I scorned all the fools who would never break free, Those Readers Digest bourgeoisie I saw through them, and they'd never see me Back on Cedar Lane Where the hedges grow in a nice neat row The postmen always wave hello And everybody knows the paper boy's name Back on Cedar Lane So I hitched to the Coast, I got a tatoo To remind me I was gonna change Then I lost myself, then I found myself, Then I lost myself again In the basement rooms of the hip saloons, I was dangerous, I was full of pain, I was far from the Sunday afternoons Back on Cedar Lane Where the streets are safe even after dark And every car has a place to park And every lawn is well-maintained Back on Cedar Lane I don't know exactly when it happened I don't know who's to blame Was it shortly after the wedding? Was it just before the children came? You know, kids need a yard they can play in It's just a mile from the house to the train Next thing you know, I woke up one day............. And I was back on Cedar Lane Where the cars don't drive above 15 And young love blooms at the Dairy Queen And daisies peak through the window pane Back on Cedar Lane Back on Cedar Lane I'm kind 'a happy here on Cedar Lane...... I mean, what's so great about pain, anyway? I think it's over-rated... It's not actually that far from the city...... What is it? Like 20, 30, tops 35 minutes..... without traffic....... I still get my hair cut in the city..... And all my clothes, of course...... But there is this new Calvin Klein outlet that just opened at the mall.... Not that I go there myself...... Unless they're having a really amazing sale..... I'm back on Cedar Lane Back on Cedar Lane Back on Cedar Lane
