Behind the house where I lived
Back when I was a kid
I played G.I. Joe beneath the tall pine trees
I'd fight imaginary wars
'Til my mom called from our back porch
And I'd come home covered in that pine pitch
From my head down to my knees

Too big to wrap my arms around
Surely older than I could count
Must have been there since the Mayflower crossed the sea
They'd been through blizzards and hurricanes
Summer droughts and freezing rain
Them pines would live forever
At least that's how it seemed to me

CHORUS:
Now what's become of the old pine woods
It's all gone and there's a brand new neighborhood
All for a buck they cut down all those trees
They subdivided all of my fondest memories

When those trucks came for my woods
I did everything I could
And it was war for real when school let out that June
I ripped down flags and I pulled up stakes
But what difference can one boy make
Them pines still fell like thunder on a summer afternoon

CHORUS

And I never became friends
With the families that moved in
They were different from us or so it seemed
I grew up and moved away
I just go home on holidays
But those tall and tangled pines
They're still falling in my dreams

We all want the greenest lawn
And a country club where we belong
And an SUV to get us there in style
But we don't keep track of what we've lost
We can't calculate the cost
When there's no place left for a boy's
Imagination to run wild

So what's become of the old pine woods
It's all gone and it's gone for good
All for a buck they cut down all those trees


Mirror lyrics:

All for a buck they cut down all those trees
It's all gone and it's gone for good
So what's become of the old pine woods

Imagination to run wild
When there's no place left for a boy's
We can't calculate the cost
But we don't keep track of what we've lost
And an SUV to get us there in style
And a country club where we belong
We all want the greenest lawn

They're still falling in my dreams
But those tall and tangled pines
I just go home on holidays
I grew up and moved away
They were different from us or so it seemed
With the families that moved in
And I never became friends

CHORUS

Them pines still fell like thunder on a summer afternoon
But what difference can one boy make
I ripped down flags and I pulled up stakes
And it was war for real when school let out that June
I did everything I could
When those trucks came for my woods

They subdivided all of my fondest memories
All for a buck they cut down all those trees
It's all gone and there's a brand new neighborhood
Now what's become of the old pine woods
CHORUS:

Them pines would live forever
Summer droughts and freezing rain
They'd been through blizzards and hurricanes
Must have been there since the Mayflower crossed the sea

Too big to wrap my arms around

From my head down to my knees
And I'd come home covered in that pine pitch
'Til my mom called from our back porch
I'd fight imaginary wars
I played G.I. Joe beneath the tall pine trees
Back when I was a kid
Behind the house where I lived
