Where Is That Place?

It used to be the teacher’s favorite country
It used to be the showplace of the west
Everything worked and everyone smiled
It used to be another word for the best
Where is that place? Where did it go?
Whatever happened to that place? God only knows
That isn’t it over there and this isn’t it here
Now how did a place that big just disappear?
You could see it in the distance across the desert
You could see it from a hundred miles away
It glowed in the dark, it lit up the world
It seemed as if the sun shined night and day
Where is that place? Where did it go?
Whatever happened to that place? God only knows
That isn’t it over there and this isn’t it here
Now how did a place that big just disappear?
They dealt in fantasy and fashion
They dealt in flesh and blood
Multiple millions of dollars
You could buy anything but love
Where is that place? Where did it go?
Whatever happened to that place? God only knows
That isn’t it over there and this isn’t it here
Now how can a place that big just disappear?
Where is that place? Where did it go?
Whatever happened to that place? God only knows
That isn’t it over there and this isn’t it here
So how can a place that big just disappear?
