Boston Accent

I was born 3000 miles from where I came alive

And i left without saying a word to start a new life

But sometimes, in some random bar

It’ll cut through the noise

Like a breeze, in the summer heat

Like an old friend’s voice

A boston accent

Well, my brother he got kicked out of school

Yeah, my mom threw him out

And my sister, she lives three streets over

And two houses down

And my father is buried in town

By his father’s side

And me, i spent my whole damn life

Just trying to hide a boston accеnt

Moving through the crowd

On that first night

Lit like angels

By thе Citgo sign

We walked across the bridge

Just to kill some more time

Before you had to go home

Now you live in a pretty nice house

Out on paul revere road

And you married some kid from our class

Who i didn’t know

And i saw you at christmas mass

And you still looked the same

I could almost

Feel your hands in my hair

And you whisper my name

In a boston accent

We’re moving through the crowd

On that first night

Lit like angels by the citgo sign

We walked across the bridge

Just to kill some more time

Before you had to go home

Now there are doors you can’t open

And some you can’t close

And my sister, she’s getting married in june

But i don’t think i’ll go

And sometimes in some random bar

It’ll cut through the noise

Like a breeze in the summer heat

Like an old friend’s voice

And you can change every inch of your life

But you're still just a boy

With a boston accent

La di di da…
