Lyric

There’sSatellite communicationsLong distanceInternet relationsThe world’sA little faster every dayI know it’s allWell and goodAnd I don’t embrace itLike I shouldBut I wouldn’t wanna goBackwards even if I could
But I stillLike bolognaOn white breadNow and thenAnd the soundOf a whippoorwillDown a country roadThe grass between my toesAnd that sunset sinking lowAnd a good woman’s loveTo hold me closeI like my 50 inchHD plasma
Feels likeThey just reach outAnd grab you500 channelsAt my commandI finally gave inAnd got a cell phoneThat I hardlyEver seem to turn onI guess I never hadThat much to say
But I stillLike bolognaOn white breadNow and thenAnd the soundOf a whippoorwillDown a country roadThe grass between my toesAnd that sunset sinking lowAnd a good woman’s loveTo hold me closeI like my 50 inchHD plasma
I got a laptopThat sits on a deskI don’t use it muchExcept to checkOn some ol’ carFrom yesterdayI kinda likeThat music thingYou just download ’emAnd you can save aboutEvery songThat’s ever been made
But I stillLike bolongaOn white breadNow and thenAnd the soundOf a shovel headDown a gravel roadThe branchBetween my toesAnd that sunsetSinkin’ lowAnd a good woman’s loveTo hold me close
Well I guessWhat I’ve beenTrying to sayThis digital worldIs OKIt makes life betterIn a lot of waysBut it can’t makeThe smell of springOr sunshine or lotsOf little thingsWe take for grantedEvery day
But I stillLike bolognaOn white breadNow and thenAnd the soundOf a whippoorwillDown a country roadThe grass between my toesAnd that sunset sinking lowAnd a good woman’s loveTo hold me closeI like my 50 inchHD plasma
Yeah, bolognaA woman’s loveAnd a good cell phone.
