Kenny Chesney - Live Those Songs lyrics

Saw him sitting on a sidewalk in Fresno

Braided hair and a tye-dyed t-shirt on

Talking to himself about Vietnam

About 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 rolling on a river with Credence

Stealing kisses from Peggy Sue

I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach

In the spring of '72

And I'd be wasting away on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll in"

He said, "What I wouldn't give just to live those songs again"

Saw him working the counter at Walgreens

With a new haircut and a Bachelor's Degree

Talking to himself about his raw deal

Cussing 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 rolling on a river with Credence

Stealing kisses from Peggy Sue

I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach

In the spring of '72

And I'd be wasting away on the dock of the bay

Watching 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 rolling on a river with Credence

Stealing kisses from Peggy Sue

I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach

In the spring of '72

And I'd be wasting away on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll in"

He said, "What I wouldn't give just to live those songs again"
