paroles de chanson Look Away - John Anderson

Bobby took a trip to his Georgia hometown
To the land of dreams and just to have a look around
He parked his car at the courthouse square
But it was like a ghost town, there was nobody there

And Jim's Drugstore was a tanning salon
He asked an old man, "Where's ev'rybody gone?"
He found them out at the shopping center
Where Highway One meets Interstate Twenty

The country boys weren't wearing overalls
They were wearing suits made of camouflage
Southern belles talking like "Valley Girls"
He scratched his head and said, "What in the world?"

Dixie's had a facelift, I guess she's looking better
But I kinda liked the old one, I never will forget her
Look away

Johnny took a trip to his Florida hometown
To the land of his dreams and just to have a look around
At first he thought that he was on the wrong road
'Cause he didn't see any orange groves

Now, trailer parks and condos grew on the land that he once knew
He saw the city limits sign and guessed he'd crossed the city line
There were strangers everywhere he went, with loud sport shirts and strange accents
They took the north and they moved it south, he said, "Shut my redneck mouth!"

Billy took a trip to his Tennessee town
To the land of his dreams and just to have a look around
He drove his car down Music Row
To look up stars he used to know

But the secretaries wouldn't let him in, "Leave your name and call again"
So, he thought he'd get some barbeque at a little place that he once knew
But all he found were sushi bars and dealerships for foreign cars
And buildings that reached for the sky, he said, "Where the hell am I?"

Dixie's had a facelift, I guess she's looking better
But I kinda liked the old one, I never will forget her
Look away, gone away, far away, Dixieland
