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
