Where I grew up
Like pouring brandy
In a dixie cup
They're paving concrete
On a part of me
No crime for killing off
A memory
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Can you find the Milky Way
Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley
Have seen their dying day
[Chorus:]
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It'll never be the same
But we're all forgiven
We're only living
To leave the way we came
No sidewalk ground now
To meet my friends
They put a roadblock
At the rainbow's end
We're driving faster now
Than Orville flew
We leave our mark on
Every single thing we do
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It's the way the West was won
Amos and Andy and nickel candy
Have fallen to the gun
[Repeat chorus]
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Can you find the Milky Way
Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley
Have seen their dying day
[Repeat chorus]
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It's the way the West was won
Amos and Andy and nickel candy
Have fallen to the gun
[Repeat chorus]
They're tearing down the street Where I grew up Like pouring brandy In a dixie cup They're paving concrete On a part of me No crime for killing off A memory Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Can you find the Milky Way Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley Have seen their dying day [Chorus:] Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It'll never be the same But we're all forgiven We're only living To leave the way we came No sidewalk ground now To meet my friends They put a roadblock At the rainbow's end We're driving faster now Than Orville flew We leave our mark on Every single thing we do Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It's the way the West was won Amos and Andy and nickel candy Have fallen to the gun [Repeat chorus] Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Can you find the Milky Way Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley Have seen their dying day [Repeat chorus] Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It's the way the West was won Amos and Andy and nickel candy Have fallen to the gun [Repeat chorus] Explain Request ×
