Lyrics
A dry rocky barren land in, Southern AfghanistanThinking how cool it would be,To host our so-called enemyI'd load them in a VW van,And drive them to a root beer standWe'd laugh while eating chili dogs,Frosty mugs and then...We'd drop our weapons in the sand,And we'd build a root beer standI'd gather all the girls and boys,Escape from the chaotic noiseThinking how cool it would be,To host all of humanityWe'd load them in a VW van,And drive them to a root beer standWe'd laugh then we'd cry,Raise our frosty mugs to the skyFind common ground in simple things,Tell jokes while eating onion ringsDreaming how cool it would be,If everyone sang in harmonyDrive around in VW vans,Singing all the way to the root beer standWe'd laugh then we'd try,Shed the past, reach for the skyWe'd laugh then we'd cry,Raise our frosty mugs to the skyA root beer stand....in Afghanistan
