It was a sunny day
It was a sunny day
All our friends got laid
All our friends got laid
And we got a little older
And when we got a little older we moved away
And moved away


Took I-80 to New York City
Took I-80 to New York City
It's a long damn way but it sure is pretty
It's a long damn way but it sure is pretty
We ran out of gas near Colfax
We ran out of gas
And delivered our first child nine months after that
Near Colfax
And delivered our first child 9 months after that


And I just called to say
And I just called to say
I know you're always sitting in the barrio waiting
I know you're always sitting in the barrio waiting
There will come a day
There will come a day
When it'll be easier to fly away  
And it'll be easier to fly away than it will be to stay
Than it will be to stay


Lived in a New York studio
Lived in a New York studio
Til we left the city for a modest home
'Til we left the city for a modest home
A Springsteen song a whole life-long
A Springsteen song
A whole life long
A breeze that lifts your head once before it's gone
A breeze that lifts your head once before it's gone


Time will come and shift its way
Time will come and shift its weight
To laugh lines booze knees birthday cake
The laugh lines, bruised knees, birthday cake
And when I die I'll see your face
And when I die I'll see your face in a sun dress on a Saturday
In a sun dress on a Saturday
Oh far away


And I just called to say
And I just called to say
I know you're always sitting in the barrio waiting
I know you're always sitting in the barrio waiting
I know that there will come a day
I know that there will come a day
When it'll be easier to fly away  
And it'll be easier to fly away than it will be to stay
Than it will be to stay

Lyrics

We got married under the Golden Gate
Then we got drunk in the Upper Haight
It was a sunny day
All our friends got laid
And when we got a little older we moved away

Took I-80 to New York City
It's a long damn way but it sure is pretty
We ran out of gas
Near Colfax
And delivered our first child 9 months after that

And I just called to say
I know you're always sitting in the barrio waiting
There will come a day
And it'll be easier to fly away than it will be to stay

Lived in a New York studio
'Til we left the city for a modest home
A Springsteen song
A whole life long
A breeze that lifts your head once before it's gone

Time will come and shift its weight
The laugh lines, bruised knees, birthday cake
And when I die I'll see your face in a sun dress on a Saturday

And I just called to say
I know you're always sitting in the barrio waiting
I know that there will come a day
And it'll be easier to fly away than it will be to stay
