New Mexicoâs lost in the back streets of Austin
Carolina keeps all her thoughts to herself
Tennesseeâs tight and he will not stop talking
Somebody shush him âfore 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 Iâd be way âcross the Whitestone
I might as well sit here a while âfore I start
Cause when the 5:30 rush hits the cross-island parkway
Itâs not for the squeamish of the gentle of heart
Iâd 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 somebodyâs love, are you somebodyâs wife
And these are the best days
These are the best days
Yâall put your money away
Iâve got the round
Hereâs to all you strangers
The Mets and the Rangers
Long may we thrive on the Long Island Sound
I donât know what goes on in those crumbling brick buildings
Theyâre on the same planet in a whole ânother world
I got a bay boat and a 401k
Two cars in the driveway, two boys and a girl
It doesnât seem long since we came up from Tulsa
Been here six years and I reckon weâll stay
The companyâs not bad as the companies go
They still got the health plan and theyâre raising my pay
And the kids all play soccer like nobodyâs business
My grandma says weâre just letting âem fall through
They donât go to church and weâre not gonna make âem
They all drop their Râs like the Islanders do
And these are the best days
These are the best days
Yâall put your money away
Iâve got the round
Hereâs 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 granddaddyâs pipe
That old rugged cross âtil she took down the shingles
Youâve 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
Yâall put your money away
Iâve got the round
Hereâs to all you strangers
The Mets and the Rangers
Long may we thrive on the Long Island Sound
New Mexicoâs lost in the back streets of Austin
Carolina keeps all her thoughts to herself
