about

A gentle call to action- to do better, to love each other, to recognize the history of the land we're stewards of, to move forward with purpose, conviction, compassion.

lyrics

Hey babe (Hey babe)
Ain't no place I'd rather be
than listening to cicadas, lying underneath a tree.
(Ten thousand years) before you, before me,
they were listening to cicadas in the trees.

Hear the train? You're never gonna get it back.
There's only one train running on the east-bound track.
And I hope my darlin that someday you'll face the fact,
there's only one train running on the east-bound track.

Hey babe (Hey babe)
Ain't no place I'd rather be
than listening to cicadas, lying underneath a tree.
(Ten thousand years) before you, before me,
they were listening to cicadas in the trees.

Oooooooooooo

You got a neighbor to the north, and a neighbor to the south.
You got a neighbor round the corner just running their mouth.
Only one good thing that's left for you to do-
you gotta love your neighbor just like I love you.

Hey babe (Hey babe)
Ain't no place I'd rather be
than listening to cicadas, lying underneath a tree.
(Ten thousand years) before you, before me,
they were listening to cicadas in the trees.

ooooooooooooo

(Instrumental)

You got girls and boys and everybody in between,
You've got the whole world thinking that you're so damn mean.
Only one good thing that's left for you to do-
you gotta love your neighbor just like I love you.

Hey babe (Hey babe)
Ain't no place I'd rather be
than listening to cicadas, lying underneath a tree.
(Ten thousand years) before you, before me,
they were listening to cicadas in the trees.

oooooooooooooo

Hear the train?
