Oyster Bay Lyrics - Billy Joel

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 

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

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

But there's lots of friendly folks that say "good morning" 

But somehow you know I don't believe their smiles 

I could be 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 a fisherman 

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 I wish that I was back in Oyster Bay 

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

Treating a hard long day, happy to be that way 

Wanting it back sometimes, having some peace of mind 

Treating a hard long day, happy to be that way 

Wanting it back sometimes, having some peace of mind 

Treating a hard long day, happy to be that way 

Wanting it back sometimes, having some peace of mind
