East Coast Girl

Walked from the subway down to the train

You brought your umbrella, oh, just in case it rains

Goodbye Chicago, I'll see you soon

I'm gone from November, I won't be back til June

You kept your secrets girl and I told you lies

No hiding places left for me to hide

We rode our bikes down to old McKinley Park

Carve down the party, it shows in the bar

You said you moved in town about a week ago

Drove up fourteen hours from the dawn

Studied english literature, worked for with foreign politics

So for now, you were going back and forth

Late out of Oakwood, more now when

The sun was singing about a rusty nail

Built in the winter of eighteen fourty-three

Pictures of men in denim shirts and worn out jeans

I just want to take a taxi out of the city before you fall asleep

From the miles and miles and miles from the street

Ignore the bums and couple boxes asking for money

I've got to go, I've got to go

You said you moved in town about a week ago

Drove up fourteen hours from the dawn

Studied english literature, worked for with foreign politics

So for now, you were going back and forth

The story of an East Coast girl

Warm in her winter coat waiting for the sun to finally go down

Oh, she's wondering what happened to that California sunshine she used to know

She used to know
