I remember Richard Nixon back in '74
  And the final scene at the White House door
  And the staff lined up to say good-bye
  Tiny tear in his shifty little eye
  He said nobody knows me
  Nobody understands
  These little people were good to me
  Oh I'm gonna shake some hands
  
  CHORUS:
  Somebody line 'em up
  Line 'em all up
  Line 'em up
  Line 'em all up
  Line 'em up
  Line 'em all up
  Line 'em up
  Line 'em all up
  
  At that time my heart was all broke
  I looked like ashes and smelled like smoke
  And I turned away from my loving kind
  Try to leave my body and live in my mind
  But it's much too much emotion
  To hold it in your hand
  They've got waves out on the ocean
  They're gonna wear away the land
  
  - Chorus -
  
  Oh I've seen corn in Kansas
  And I've seen picket fences
  And certain cowboy dances
  I've gone lining up for shows
  I've been safely placed in rows
  Sure I know how it goes
  
  Another day goes by
  Little time machine
  I'm breaking my brain
  Over what it might mean
  Just to claim the time
  And to turn away
  To make today today
  
  Who waits for you
  Lonely tired old toad
  It's your life laid out before you
  Like the broken white line down the center of the road
  
  - Chorus -
  
  Yeah, big moon landing
  People all standing up
  Smiles for the loved ones
  They go walking on down the aisles
  Each re-engages stepping into the sun
  I watch them turn like pages
  One by one by one
  
  - Chorus -
