Lyrics
Neon sign says "Open"
On a building selling caskets
A woman out front in a wheelchair
Is greeting potential customers
A mother 32 and a mother 16
Both started smoking in seventh grade
Grown men riding bicycles
Probably lost their license
A hundred and ten in September
Ain't nothing to an Awader
They jump into the river from a tree
And show off their tattoo number 23
And so much has changed
In this 21st century
But we can lay here in our hammock
In the shade of a tree
You and me
In our cottage in the dell
They still play Buck and Merle Haggard
But it's Seniors Sunday at the honky tonk
Teenage men at the front porch
And punk rock at Jerry's Pizza
Uncle Bernie's beat-up pickup
Pulled water skiers through the canal
Arrows shot into the woodwork
Over the bar at the Tahoe Club
The wind still blows hot in the summer
And you sure can grow tomatoes and roses
A fine red dust covers kitchen table
To remind everyone of the Dust Bowl
And so much has changed
In this 21st century
But we can lay here in our hammock
In the shade of a tree
In our cottage in the dell
In our cottage in the dell
You and me
In our cottage in the dell
