New Mexico’s lost in the back streets of Austin | |
Carolina keeps all her thoughts to herself | |
Tennessee’s tight and he will not stop talking | |
Somebody shush him ‘fore I have to myself | |
I wrote that verse for the kids but I never did sing it | |
I filed it away and forgot it in time | |
My old guitar sits in the back bedroom closet | |
Next to the closet the shotgun I got when I was nine | |
If I had any sense I’d be way ‘cross the Whitestone | |
I might as well sit here a while ‘fore I start | |
Cause when the 5:30 rush hits the cross-island parkway | |
It’s not for the squeamish of the gentle of heart | |
I’d be stuck on the bridge in the right land at sunset | |
Watching the boats with their snowy white sails | |
Watching the sun sinking over the projects | |
Laundry hung out of the balcony rails | |
And where are you now my long secret love | |
Where have you gone in your glamorous life | |
Where are you now as the moon comes a-rising | |
Are you somebody’s love, are you somebody’s wife | |
And these are the best days | |
These are the best days | |
Y’all put your money away | |
I’ve got the round | |
Here’s to all you strangers | |
The Mets and the Rangers | |
Long may we thrive on the Long Island Sound | |
I don’t know what goes on in those crumbling brick buildings | |
They’re on the same planet in a whole ‘nother world | |
I got a bay boat and a 401k | |
Two cars in the driveway, two boys and a girl | |
It doesn’t seem long since we came up from Tulsa | |
Been here six years and I reckon we’ll stay | |
The company’s not bad as the companies go | |
They still got the health plan and they’re raising my pay | |
And the kids all play soccer like nobody’s business | |
My grandma says we’re just letting ‘em fall through | |
They don’t go to church and we’re not gonna make ‘em | |
They all drop their R’s like the Islanders do | |
And these are the best days | |
These are the best days | |
Y’all put your money away | |
I’ve got the round | |
Here’s to all you strangers | |
The Mets and the Rangers | |
Long may we thrive on the Long Island Sound | |
I remember her singing from that dusty old hymnal | |
Smelled like tobacco from granddaddy’s pipe | |
That old rugged cross ’til she took down the shingles | |
You’ve never heard such a noise in your life | |
I had a tire run low so I dug through the glovebox | |
I needed the manual to locate the jack | |
Found a couple old picks and a 20 gauge shuttle | |
Left from a dove hunt a couple years back | |
And these are the best days | |
These are the best days | |
Y’all put your money away | |
I’ve got the round | |
Here’s to all you strangers | |
The Mets and the Rangers | |
Long may we thrive on the Long Island Sound | |
New Mexico’s lost in the back streets of Austin | |
Carolina keeps all her thoughts to herself |
New Mexico' s lost in the back streets of Austin | |
Carolina keeps all her thoughts to herself | |
Tennessee' s tight and he will not stop talking | |
Somebody shush him ' fore I have to myself | |
I wrote that verse for the kids but I never did sing it | |
I filed it away and forgot it in time | |
My old guitar sits in the back bedroom closet | |
Next to the closet the shotgun I got when I was nine | |
If I had any sense I' d be way ' cross the Whitestone | |
I might as well sit here a while ' fore I start | |
Cause when the 5: 30 rush hits the crossisland parkway | |
It' s not for the squeamish of the gentle of heart | |
I' d be stuck on the bridge in the right land at sunset | |
Watching the boats with their snowy white sails | |
Watching the sun sinking over the projects | |
Laundry hung out of the balcony rails | |
And where are you now my long secret love | |
Where have you gone in your glamorous life | |
Where are you now as the moon comes arising | |
Are you somebody' s love, are you somebody' s wife | |
And these are the best days | |
These are the best days | |
Y' all put your money away | |
I' ve got the round | |
Here' s to all you strangers | |
The Mets and the Rangers | |
Long may we thrive on the Long Island Sound | |
I don' t know what goes on in those crumbling brick buildings | |
They' re on the same planet in a whole ' nother world | |

Two cars in the driveway, two boys and a girl | |
It doesn' t seem long since we came up from Tulsa | |
Been here six years and I reckon we' ll stay | |
The company' s not bad as the companies go | |
They still got the health plan and they' re raising my pay | |
