Put the TV on the lawn
With the bicycles and boots
Take your wedding dress to pawn
Take my pistol and my suit
Sell the house, sell the car
Take the kids to Jacksonville
Give them a kiss for the father they'll miss
Tell them that I love them still
I remember, long ago
In that brown Catskill school snow
Oh, the life we dreamt of way back then
Hey there, Dorothy, stop your crying
I'll put your favorite record on
Hey there, Dorothy, where's your smile?
Just one more kiss before I'm gone
Sell the house, sell the car
Take the kids to Jacksonville
Give them a kiss, for the father they'll miss
Tell them that I love them still
And always will
And always will
To chain me to the earth
It would take a length of chain
25 thousand miles long
To wash me away
It would take a length of rain
25 million mornings long
To chain me to the earth
It would take a length of chain
25 thousand miles long
I have always been
And I will see no end
25 million mornings long
And that's a long length of chain
And that's a long time to wait
To move me with hate
It would take an army greater than
25 million soldiers strong
To move me with love
It would take the birds above
Oh, the singing of a song
And that's a long length of chain
And that's a long time to wait
To chain me to the earth
It would take a length of chain
25 thousand miles long
I will always be
Like the ever-changing sea
25 million years to come
And that's a long length of chain
And that's a long time to wait
And that's a long length of chain
