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 we got a little older
And 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 nine months after that
And I just called to say
I know you're always sitting in the barrio waiting
There will come a day
When 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 way
To laugh lines booze knees birthday cake
And when I die I'll see your face
In a sun dress on a Saturday
Oh far away
And I just called to say
I know you're always sitting in the barrio waiting
I know that there will come a day
When it'll be easier to fly away
Than it will be to stay
