The Strip Malls Say, "Goodbye!"

Day by day

Things keep getting better

All the time, night by night

Sure as there'll be morning light

The strip malls say, "Goodbye!"

The coffee shops and restaurants

The laundromats glow

In the water from the rain

In the gutter is the gleam

And though he doesn't come around much

There's the dream

Dream, dream

Day by day

I'll be learning something

'Bout myself, 'bout my life

Sure as there'll be words to write

The strip malls say, "Goodbye!"

The coffee shops and restaurants

The laundromats glow

In the water from the rain

In the gutter is the gleam

And though he doesn't come around much

There's the dream
