� � � Where we live always gets a hard time 700 miles south of the Mesa-Dixon line Where we come from the same sun shines It's just a little hotter so people tend to take their time That's why things move a little slower If you'd ever been here you'd know it Anybody here would be glad to show you The difference between what you think and what it is Hey, where we live, where we live Where we live has a different kind of style Well, we've got a city block but it's stretched out across a country mile In the big blue world we're a little green dot So folks don't worry such a lot about what they ain't got That's why things look simple to a stranger since you've never been here Who blames you for thinking that life is so much plainer Than the blue and the green and all the in-between that it is Hey, where we live, where we live . . . When the day winds down Just as dark outside both our doors This could be any town Even yours, even yours But where we live you say you know how things go Till you've been here yourself I'd say you never really know About a river that runs or the hill where it bends Or an old front porch that catches the evening wind That's why things still move a little slower If you ever get here you'll know it Anybody here would be glad to show you The difference between what you thought and what it is Hey, where we live, where we live Where we live, where we live . . .
