Oyster Bay - Demo - 1973

Lyrics

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...
 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
