Everyone in this town is saying the same thing, Wait 'til tomorrow, see what that brings The moon rises, brings surprises to this small town Johnny waits in line for the number nine
Talks aloud, remembering simpler times When a girl was on his arm And the world was full of charm And the sun coming up, meant a better day
He says take me back To a time I knew before Before I opened my eyes and knew I wanted more
Anny waits in line at the five and dime The men stare, she says she doesn't mind There's seven mouths to feed And she wears it on her sleeve And she remembers the day she said she was gonna leave
She says take me back To a time I knew before Before I opened my eyes and knew I wanted more
Ooh, it's tough to follow, Time's not easy to swallow And we all long for yesterday
We said take us back To a time we knew before Before we opened our eyes and knew we wanted more
