Line 'Em Up
I remember Richard Nixon back in '74
And the final scene at the White House door
And the staff lined up to say good-bye
Tiny tear in his shifty little eye
He said nobody knows me
Nobody understands
These little people were good to me
Oh I'm gonna shake some handsCHORUS:
Somebody line 'em up
Line 'em all up
Line 'em up
Line 'em all up
Line 'em up
Line 'em all up
Line 'em up
Line 'em all upAt that time my heart was all brokeI looked like ashes and smelled like smokeAnd I turned away from my loving kindTry to leave my body and live in my mindBut it's much too much emotion
To hold it in your hand
They've got waves out on the ocean
They're gonna wear away the land- Chorus -Oh I've seen corn in KansasAnd I've seen picket fencesAnd certain cowboy dances
I've gone lining up for showsI've been safely placed in rowsSure I know how it goesAnother day goes byLittle time machineI'm breaking my brainOver what it might meanJust to claim the timeAnd to turn away
To make today todayWho waits for you
Lonely tired old toad
It's your life laid out before you
Like the broken white line down the center of the doggone road- Chorus -Yeah, big moon landing
People all standing up
Smiles for the loved ones
They go walking on down the aislesEach re-engages stepping into the sunI watch them turn like pagesOne by one by one- Chorus -
