EmTheres another Gbrazen Dday
EmThings kinda moGve that Dway
EmGood lord aboveG, now hDe don't have to fuss
EmNot for good hearted Gpeople Dlike us
Born with a weary eye
Plain to see, my oh my
These crazy ideas, oh they don't last long
But they come and they go in america
And we're Emstaring Gat the Dworld
from my Emhome litGtle idaDho
And we're Emstaring Gat the Dworld
from my Emhome litGtle idaDho
Theres another fallen man
With hair i don't understand
Its just bout as long as my wife marlene
Don't it all kinda keep you to wondering
Staring at the stars above
Wonder what are we made of
Some folks say that they know right away
So you look on a cloud for a lullaby
And we're staring at the world from my home little idaho
And we're staring at the world from my home little idaho
And i said hey
Everywhere i see, hey
Everywhere i see
Theres another busted dream
Staring me right in the face
Good lord knows why we don't give in
Trying to leave, maybe run from this place
Instead of staring at the stars above
Wondering what are we made of
Some folks say that they know right away
So you look on a cloud for a lullaby
And we're staring at the world from my home little idaho
And we're staring at the world from my home little idaho
And i say staring at the world from my home little idaho
Staring at the world from my home little idaho
And i say hey
Everywhere i see, hey
Everywhere i see
