City by the Sea

[Verse 1]

I wanna come home to a dog that wags his tail

I wanna come home to a ship that doesn't sail

I wanna come home and I wanna go to work

I wanna come home and be just another jerk

[Verse 2]

I wanna be there for the start of every season

Head back to Fenway, yeah, it seems like a good reason

To go home to friends and family, the best thing I ever did

I may be far away, but I'm still a hometown kid

[Chorus]

So take me back to where I'm from

Where I'm hated, where I'm loved

Whеre they welcomе me and raised me

To be the man that I've become

Each time I go away I wish to God that I could stay

Here with you all every day

Now let that broken record play

[Verse 3]

I wanna be back where people tell it like it is

Everyone remembers, but nobody forgives

I wanna be home by the ocean so I can smell the sea

I wanna be around a bunch of salty knuckleheads like you and me

[Chorus]

So take me back to where I'm from

Where I'm hated, where I'm loved

Where they welcome me and raised me

To be the man that I've become

Each time I go away I wish to God that I could stay

Here with you all every day

Now let that broken record play

[Bridge]

Going home to friends and family, the best thing I ever did

I may be far away but I'm still a Boston kid

[Chorus]

So take me back to where I'm from

Where I'm hated, where I'm loved

Where they welcome me and raised me

To be the man that I've become

Each time I go away I wish to God that I could stay

Here with you all every day

Now let that broken record play

[Outro]

Each time I go away I wish to God that I could stay

Here with you all every day

Now let that broken record play
