(Nothin But) Flowers

Thank you

Here we stand
Like an Adam and an Eve
Waterfalls, the Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
Birds in the trees are smiling upon them

From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars were run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, now there's nothing but flowers

This was a factory, now there are mountains and rivers
You got it, you got it
We caught a rattlesnake, now we got something for dinner
You got it, you got it
This was a shopping mall, now it's all covered with flowers
You got it, you got it
If this is paradise, I wish I had a lawnmower
You got it, you got it

Years ago, I was an angry young man
I'd pretend, that I was a billboard
Standing tall by the side of the road
I fell in love with a beautiful highway

This used to be real estate
Now it's only, only fields and trees
Where, where is the town?
Now, now it's nothing but flowers
The highways and cars
Were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we'd start over
But I guess I was wrong

This was a parking lot, now it's a peaceful oasis
You got it, you got it
This was a Pizza Hut, now it's all covered with daisies
You got it, you got it
I miss the honky-tonks, Dairy Queen, and 7-Elevens
You got it, you got it
And as things fell apart, nobody paid much attention
You got it, you got it

I dream of cherry pies, candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
You got it, you got it
We used to microwave, now we just eat nuts and berries
You got it, you got it
This was a discount store, now it's turned into a cornfield
You got it, you got it

Don't leave me stranded here
I can't get used to this lifestyle

Thank you
This song was originally a duet with Selena
Or Santa Selena as she's known here
