Boston Accent
Boston Accent: Nostalgia and Life's Unforgettable Echoes
Lyrics
i was born 3000 miles from where I came alive and i left without saying a word to start a new life
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
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,
Like a breeze, in the summer heat like an old friend's voice,
a boston accent
A Boston accent
well, my brother he got kicked out of school yeah, my mom threw him out,
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 sister, she lives three streets over and two houses down
and my father is buried in town
And my father is buried in town
by his father's side,
By his father's side,
and me, i spent my whole damn life just trying to hide a boston accent
And me, I spent my whole damn life just trying to hide a Boston accent
moving through the crowd on that first night,
Moving through the crowd on that first night,
lit like angels
Lit like angels
by the Citgo sign,
By the Citgo sign,
we walked across the bridge just to kill some more time before you had to go home
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
Now you live in a pretty nice house
out on paul revere road,
Out on Paul Revere Road,
and you married some kid from our class who i didn't know
And you married some kid from our class who I didn't know
and i saw you at christmas mass
And I saw you at Christmas mass
and you still looked the same,
And you still looked the same,
i could almost
I could almost
feel your hands in my hair
Feel your hands in my hair
and you whisper my name,
And you whisper my name,
in a boston accent,
In a Boston accent,
we're moving through the crowd on that first night,
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
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
Now there are doors you can't open
and some you can't close
And some you can't close
and my sister, she's getting married in june but i don't think i'll go
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,
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,
Like a breeze in the summer heat, like an old friend's voice,
and you can change every inch of your life but your still just a boy
And you can change every inch of your life but you're still just a boy
with a boston accent La di di da
With a Boston accent La di di da
