Let's go back to yesterday[00:00:00]

When a phone call cost a dime[00:00:03]

In new orleans just a nickel[00:00:07]

Turn back the hands of time[00:00:10]

Turn back the hands of time[00:00:15]

Picture a room window[00:00:22]

A sofa and some chairs[00:00:27]

A television turned on for the night[00:00:32]

Picture a woman[00:00:40]

Two children seated[00:00:42]

A man lying there[00:00:46]

Their faces softly glowing in the light[00:00:51]

This is my country[00:00:59]

These are my people[00:01:03]

This is the world I understand[00:01:09]

This is my country[00:01:17]

These are my people[00:01:22]

And I know 'em like the back of my own hand[00:01:27]

We had something to say[00:01:36]

We'd bounce it off the screen[00:01:41]

We were watching and we couldn't[00:01:45]

Look away[00:01:49]

We all know what we look like[00:01:54]

You know what I mean[00:01:59]

We wouldn't have had it any other way[00:02:04]

We got comedy tragedy[00:02:12]

Ev'rything from A to B[00:02:17]

Watching other people living[00:02:21]

Seeing other people play[00:02:26]

Having other people's voices[00:02:30]

Fill our minds[00:02:34]

Thank you Jesus[00:02:37]

Feelings might go unexpressed[00:02:40]

I think that's prob'ly for the best[00:02:45]

Dig too deep who knows what you will find[00:02:49]

This is my country those were my people[00:02:58]

Their's was the world I understand[00:03:08]

Picture a room no window[00:03:21]

A door that leads outside[00:03:28]

A man lying on a blanket on the floor[00:03:32]

Picture his three grown boys behind him[00:03:40]

Bouncing words off of a screen[00:03:45]

Of a television big as all outdoors[00:03:50]

Now your children are your children[00:03:58]

Even when they're grown[00:04:03]

When they speak to you[00:04:08]

You got to listen to[00:04:09]

What they have to say[00:04:11]

But they all live alone now[00:04:17]

They have tv's of their own[00:04:21]

But they keep on coming over anyway[00:04:27]

And much as I love them[00:04:36]

I'm always kind of glad when they go away[00:04:40]

This is my country[00:04:48]

These are my people[00:04:53]

This is the world that I understand[00:04:59]

This is my country[00:05:06]

These are my people[00:05:11]

And I know 'em like the back[00:05:16]

Of my own hand[00:05:19]

I know 'em like the back[00:05:25]

Of my own hand[00:05:29]
