From my room, I see the blue Pacific OceanYes my hotel has me right beside the shoreWell today it's San Francisco and tomorrow it's L.A.And I feel as though I've been this way beforeWell my woman helps my feet to keep on walkin'But my manager he stands right outside the doorYes there's an up ‘n’ comin' superstar & he's gettin' rave revuesBut there ain’t no time for fishin’ anymoreI never thought that things would go this farI never thought that life would be this wayI never thought I’d be a superstarAnd Jesus Christ who wish that I was back in Oyster BayAnd takin’ it easy...Oh yeah...Well there’s lots of friendly folks that say “good morning”But somehow you know I just don’t believe their smilesAt the New York City bound where I could be among my friendsBut the roller back home it seems a million milesI can see the lights of Hollywood below meBut somehow they just don’t move me like they shouldI know it’s hard to understand but I would be official manIf I only had the chance, you know I wouldI never thought that things would go this farI never thought that I’d be here todayI never thought I’d be a superstarOh and Jesus Christ who wish that I was back in Oyster BayAnd takin’ it easy...Oh yeah...Treating a hard long day, having to being that wayWanting it back sometimes, having some peace of mindTreating a hard long day, having to being that wayWanting it back sometimes, having some peace of mindTreating a hard long day, having to being that wayWanting it back sometimes, having some peace of mind
