Life In a Norman Rockwell Painting

I want to live in a Norman Rockwell painting Where I'm surrounded by the simple times If you don't know what I mean let me explain it It consists of front porch swings and Mom's apple pie Sunday afternoons in Grandma's kitchen Lazy fishing days down by the lake Or in a Soda Shop drinking Chocolate Malts with cherries on top As I while away the day Norman's way Riding bikes down hills the whole time laughing Cowboys, Indians, and Pirates all in one day With sunsets painted red and no strangers met No secrets kept to wanna give away Life on parade the American way Pride in your family and friends Helping each other no matter race, creed, or color Starting each meal out with an amen Picnics at the park, hot dogs and gaming Potato sack and three-legged racing Nothing like today's grind taxing both the heart and mind Which to me desperately needs replacing With life in a Norman Rockwell painting
