The song describes a man yearning ("But fantasy world and Disney girls, I'm coming back") for simpler times in small-town America ("1957" is mentioned in the title), with old-fashioned life and values. Bruce Johnson wrote this song in 1971, when America was experiencing rapid changes like sexual revolution, rise of feminist movement, hippie counter-culture, and maybe he yearned for life and values from way back in the 1950s.
