Time was no one could tell the rain from a poke in the ribs
\nAnd we knew three secrets for every blade of grass out back
\nAll the ‘gators lived in a shack down by the river
\nYou couldn’t tell them a thing they didn’t already know.<\/p>\n
Time was every step you counted was a big old mess of trouble
\nAnd don’t even get me started on the ones you didn’t see
\nThere was nothing couldn’t be fixed by a good walk down by the river
\nAnd nobody ever sold a damned thing before Wednesday<\/p>\n
Time was the pigeons knew the words to all the songs
\nBut they held that secret to their graves
\nAnd even the loneliest hobo was banking on a dream
\nAlthough he never talked about it, not even to himself <\/p>\n
Time was there were no limos in Chinatown
\n‘Cause everyone who knew the score had blown this town
\nAnd the church bells started ringing every Friday at noon
\nOne for every hour since the last time I saw you smile<\/p>\n
Time was we were younger than even we knew
\nBefore I could see your tears even in the streaks of rain
\nThat run down this broke down window like there’s no tomorrow
\nHell. Maybe that fool rain knows something after all<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
