Movie stars
And magazines
Life is good
Grass is green
Come ride with me
Down 62
'Cause all I want
Is to be with you
Past rusted out
Faded towns
Little places
Broken down
Life is good
When I'm with you
I don't need
Anything.

I just wanna live like this now and forever
I just wanna live like this now and forever
I just wanna live like this now and forever
Now and forever, forever

Crystalline
Those perfect dreams
Its all wide open
At seventeen
Start again
Me and you
A simple life
On Route 62
Rusted out
Broken down
Little places
Falling down
Life is good
Or so it seems
I don't need
Anything.

I just wanna live like this now and forever
I just wanna live like this now and forever
I just wanna live like this now and forever
Now and forever, forever

I just wanna live like this now and forever
I just wanna live like this now and forever
I just wanna live like this now and forever
Now and forever, forever
Cracker

Cracker is an American rock band formed in 1990 by lead singer David Lowery and guitarist Johnny Hickman. The band's first album Cracker was released in 1992 on Virgin Records; it included the single "Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)", which went to #1 on the U.S. Modern Rock chart. The band's follow-up, the 1993 album Kerosene Hat included the hit songs "Low", "Get Off This", and "Euro-Trash Girl".

Cracker has released nine studio albums and several compilations, collaborations, solo projects and live albums. The band mix influences and sounds from rock, punk, grunge, psychedelia, country, blues and folk.

I think many people take Cracker way too seriously. They are sarcastic and sardonic, making their points with catchy tunes but great lyrics. Too bad they're mostly associated with "Low" for most people. Some great songs out there, even if "Forever" didn't really have many. Still...
...More Cracker, please!
 
Completely agree with this!

Hardly. Are you actually listening to the song? Different tempo, different melody, different voice. But yeah, other than that, a perfect match!

Nice little song. At first, it sounded like this could be a Tom Petty song from his early days...

Sounds like they borrowed the mellotron from the old Moody Blues.

It's a song about life being good. There's no mention of drinking, working hard, ex-girlfriends/boyfriends, shooting guns, trucks, heartache or life being really tough but okay, let's call it country.

Yes, given that this song writer has also worked as a quant and college lecturer, maybe his lyrics aren't intended at face value...
