Tonight I'm missing yesterday again
My life was so much easier then
No modern toys
We'd find the joys in simple things
How I miss two cans and a string

Our love began in summer
At the old playground
We'd capture the flag and kick the can
Until sundown
Then out of a blade of grass
For you I'd make a wedding ring
And we'd talk forever
On two cans and a string

Climbing the red sequoia
To steal our first kiss
My nerves were trembling
From youthful innocence
But somewhere life's road had its way
And we forgot how to play

I'll pick you up
We'll go for a ride
On my purple Schwinn
No phones, no photos
Just memories frozen

Eye to eye and hand to hand
So real is everything
And we can talk
On two cans and a string
Tonight I'm missing
Two cans and a string
