I long for times of clear traffic lanes
And the noise of old steam trains 
Memories that seem better looking back 

The days are gone when kids played in the sun 
Laughter and you know they're having fun 
We've turned the page to the computer age
And we know that the good old days are done 

I long for times of clear traffic lanes
And the noise of old steam trains 
Memories that seem better looking back

Strange when they think they're not alone 
They've got buddies on the phone
Someone they can call up anytime night or day 

They call strangers in the night 
Just so they can have a fight 
No need to worry it's alright 
It's a cause for their delight

And as they prepare to go to war 
You then hear them through the door 
Fighting battles clocking up the score 
From their cushioned bedroom floor 

I long for times of clear traffic lanes
And the noise of old steam trains 
Memories that seem better looking back 

They spend their days staring at a screen
Living their lives in a movie scene 
Fantasy world living out their dreams 
Reality they don't know what it means

I long for times of clear traffic lanes
And the noise of old steam trains 
Memories that seem better looking back
