Billy Joel - Oyster Bay lyrics

From my room, I see the blue Pacific Ocean

Yes my hotel has me right beside the shore

Well today it's San Francisco and tomorrow it's L.A.

And I feel as though I've been this way before

Well my woman helps my feet to keep on walkin'

But my manager he stands right outside the door

Yes there's an up ‘n' comin' superstar & he's gettin' rave revues

But there ain't no time for fishin' anymore

I never thought that things would go this far

I never thought that life would be this way

I never thought I'd be a superstar

And Jesus Christ who wish that I was back in Oyster Bay

And takin' it easy...Oh yeah...

Well there's lots of friendly folks that say “good morning”

But somehow you know I just don't believe their smiles

At the New York City bound where I could be among my friends

But the roller back home it seems a million miles

I can see the lights of Hollywood below me

But somehow they just don't move me like they should

I know it's hard to understand but I would be official man

If I only had the chance, you know I would

I never thought that things would go this far

I never thought that I'd be here today

I never thought I'd be a superstar

Oh and Jesus Christ who wish that I was back in Oyster Bay

And takin' it easy...Oh yeah...

Treating a hard long day, having to being that way

Wanting it back sometimes, having some peace of mind

Treating a hard long day, having to being that way

Wanting it back sometimes, having some peace of mind

Treating a hard long day, having to being that way

Wanting it back sometimes, having some peace of mind
