nostalgia rag

arlo guthrie

the whole country is getting weirder

ya know

the whole wide world's insane

give me a hit of my memory and let me think back again

no more sharing in the can

lord

everybody just brings his own

nobody rolls joints with their hands anymore

no

so i just sit at home

alone

everybody is really stranger

where were you guys yesterday?

women attack me out on the street

lord

men attack me anyway

pa swaps ma for aunt matilda

she swaps him for young maybelline

the whole block is moving in together

what a scene

lord

what a scene

no more riots at the old school

everybody just comes in stoned

everybody looks oh so cool

lord

it's so cool

lord

i must be a fool

this whole scene is out of hand now

later for today

give me a hit of my memory and let me be on my way

let me be on my way
