Old Man

Standing on the outside
Staring at the moon
It’s shining on the Hudson
Imma be home soon
Cause I’m working in the mornin’
Just like my old man
He said “Son, when you’re my age
You might understand”
He said “The years start flying by when you get older
And soon you think you’re running out of time
So if she lies down with her head upon your shoulder
Don’t forget to old on tight”
I can see it coming
Coming round the bend
Open up the blinds babe
And let the light in
“Cause soon she’ll be leavin’
Off to another town
And if you know what, Son
You might stick around”
“And if you see her like a ghost in the doorway
Call her up and tell her it’s alright
And that you’ll be coming back down south one day
And you’ll kiss her when you get to Caroline”
“And if you see her like a ghost in the doorway
Call her up and tell her it’s alright
And you’ll be coming back down south one day
And you’ll kiss her when you get to Caroline
Hold on when you get to Caroline”

Jealousy

How was the party?
Who all was there?
How were the boys, babe?
Did you catch any stares?
Did you put on makeup?
Tell me, what did you wear?
Well it takes one to know one
And I know it ain’t fair
It’s jealousy
You’re just a person, babe
And so am I
Before we met
We lived two different lives
Making promises
In another pair of eyes
And I can’t help but wish
I had you all of that time
It’s jealousy
So if you come home late
Could you give me a call?
I’m sitting here alone, babe
Staring at these walls
Wish I could check out
And feel nothing at all
My mind’s been caught up wandering
On a little alcohol
It’s jealousy
How was the party?
Who all was there?

Goodbye New York
05:20

Slipping through the space between
The grand facade of a great machine
Burn your cash up and you might find out what it means
That all you had was just a dream
You grab your coat from in the hall
Take all the pictures off the walls
An empty beach, the one you love, your ma and pa
You’ll take all those pictures off the wall
See the fruit man in the street
He’s killing time, It’s a big defeat
Peeling oranges, cracking smiles, and smoking weed
See the fruit man in the street
The bridge is long and that river’s wide
They’re crossing over to the Jersey side
Way up here that city shines like gold tonight
The bridge is long and the river’s wide
I might take one last trip downtown
I’ll take one good look around
Union square- you bring the boys, I’ll buy a round
Yeah I’ll take one more trip downtown
See I met a girl that makes me smile
And I haven’t seen her in a little while
We’re heading out where you can see for miles and miles
I met the girl that makes me smile
I met the girl that makes me smile
I met the girl that makes me smile
