Graham Parker & The Episodes - Disney's America lyrics

I knew Virginia once She was a pretty girl She walked in the wild fields and swam the wild streams I took her out one day to the Civil War battlefield way down in Mana**as where I told her my dreams CHORUS But now it's Disney's America a long way from anywhere with a brand new coat to wear with a brand name on the seams Just Disney's America Virginia she chose to stay and we drifted apart like runoff into the Chesapeake Bay Then I had a family Virginia, I guess she forgot about me She lives near the concrete sea or so people say I don't remember much about her gentle touch My skin just turned so hard and my feet turned to clay CHORUS It was in Disney's America a long long way from anywhere you get what you pay for there man you get it in spades Just Disney's America Virginia she chose to stay and we drifted apart like runoff into the Chesapeake Bay You can't get too excited You can't get too enthused From Dismal Land to the Tragic Mountain We are not amused Yeah I knew Virginia once She, she was a pretty thing She walked in the wild fields and swam in the wild streams CHORUS But now it's Disney's America That's where we collect our pay Where we drifted apart like runoff into the Chesapeake Bay Yeah we drifted apart like runoff into the Chesapeake Bay
