I Wanna Know

(album: The Live Album - 1988)

Have you got a minute?
A little time that we can spend
Open up and let me in
Share some memories
People in a hurry
Every day goes by so fast
No one takes the time to ask how it used to be

I wanna know
Did your father own an automobile or a two horse carriage with wood spoke wheels?
I hear you used to walk to school seven miles a day
Did you ever ride a railroad train and the very first time you saw a plane
Did you think the world had gone insane? Tell me what you've got to say
I want to know.

Words can paint a picture
Sharper than a photograph
I know you can take me back
To times I'll never see
Got a lot of questions
There's so much I want to learn
You can make the pages turn in living history

I wanna know
Did your father own an automobile or a two horse carriage with wood spoke wheels?
I hear you used to walk to school seven miles a day
Did you ever ride a railroad train and the very first time you saw a plane
Did you think the world had gone insane? Tell me what you've got to say
I want to know.

Have you got a minute?
A little time that we could spend
Open up and let me in
Share some memories
