They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

This is the end, beautiful friend

The Doors

 

 

I come from down in the valley, where Mister when you're young

The River

 

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

Blind Melon

 

On a Greyhound twenty miles beyond Jamestown, he saw the sunset on the Tennessee line

John Cougar Mellencamp

 

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea

Seal

 

Just a small town girl living in a lonely world

Journey

 

Where it began, I can't begin to knowing

Sweet Caroline

 

 

And one for Mook....

 

My heart was broken, my heart was broken..
