Down by the train tracks
The kids are all playing
Moms yelling come back
But they can't hear what she's saying
They run to the market
To buy a few sodas
The sky's getting dark in
South Dakota
Mikes just a poor boy
But he's got a great smile
John says come to my store, boy
And you can work for a while
So he's saving up money
For a brand new car
He says I'm gonna get lucky
And you'll watch me go far
Everything was fine
In 1969
Everything was fine
Everything was fine
In 1969
Everything was fine
George is a busser
At the hill top cafe
But his boss is a fusser
And still won't give him a raise
Now his sons getting drafted
Right into the war
And he's screaming in the mirror
Remember what you're fighting for
Now the town is shaking
At the nasa broadcast
They say It's history in the making
As we all watch the spacecraft
Mama grips her new bag
Papa raises a beer
As Neil plants the home flag
We all start to cheer!
Everything was fine
In 1969
Everything was fine
Everything was fine
In 1969
Everything was fine
Everything was fine
In 1969
Everything was fine
Everything was fine
In 1969
Everything was fine
In 1969
