Lyrics

An old covered bridge and an orchard that runs to the sea
With a dock painted yellow and orange where the mooring is free
Yes, and row after row of old houses that face the seashore
And their calendars read, "Live in peace, 1984"
A small sewing shop with a fresh water fountain that's new
Near the closed shooting gallery, not far from the now empty zoo
There's a low wooden building that's
Called grandpa's old country store
And his calendar reads, "Live in peace, 1984"
Tambourines ringing and young people singing
Yes, and old people napping as old people will
Night settles in and the dances begin
And the light from the campfire glows bright on the hill
A leather craft workshop where most of the young people go
Just to watch the old man work his leathers and learn how to sew
There's a well-kept garage with a calendar taped to the door
And the calendar reads, "Live in peace, 1984"
Best of luck, Joe's Garage, live in peace, 1984
Best of luck, Joe's Garage, live in peace, 1984
