God Only Knows Spring has come Another generation Is leaving town While another returns home They never meet half the way One never listens to what the other says The way it's always been In the past and in eternity I used to be one of them Young enough to know the way But the black and white world fades Ending up in a mess of grey Because god only knows God only knows God only knows What's right or wrong These are the fields I used to run through as a child In a different light And a less complicated frame of mind But as I take my daughters hand And let her lead me through them I'm there once again All dressed up like an indian Nothing really changes Especially not around here Now I'm old enough to know better Because god only knows God only knows God only knows What's right or wrong God only knows God only knows God only knows If this is my home Old guys, with their young Thai wifes Driving by in their pick up trucks I won't move, no I won't move Living dead, old friends I gave them all up long, long time ago And all in all it's a shitty old town All in all it's a shitty old town But it's my shitty old town And God only knows God only knows God only knows If this is my home
