Golden Gate

[Verse 1]
We got married under the Golden Gate
Then we got drunk in the Upper Haight
It was a sunny day, all our friends got laid
And when we got a little older, we moved away
Every place changes what can you do?
You can't take a part of it
Unless you leave a part of you

[Verse 2]
You can take I-80 into New York City
It's a long damn way, but it sure is pretty
We ran out of gas near Colfax
And delivered our first baby nine months after that
Everyone changes what can you do?
You can't take a part of me
Unless you leave a part of you

[Chorus]
And I just called to say
Now brother you're always sittin' in the barrio, waiting
Waiting and wasting away
There will come a day
When it'll be easier to fly away than it will be to stay

[Verse 3]
Lived in a New York studio
Till we left the city for a modest home
A country song, a whole life long
A breeze that lifts your head once before it's gone
Every place changes what can you do?
You can't take a part of it
Unless you leave a part of you

[Verse 4]
Time will come and shift its weight
To laugh lines and birthday cake
And when I die, I will see your face in a sundress on a Saturday
Everyone changes what can you do?
You can't take a part of me
Unless you leave a part of you

[Chorus]
And I just called to say
I know you're always sittin' in the barrio, waiting
Waiting and wasting away
There will come a day
When it'll be easier to fly away than it will be to stay
To stay

[Bridge]
Sometimes you plant a seed and create a forest
Sometimes you plant a seed and create a forest
Sometimes you plant a seed and create a forest
Sometimes you plant a seed and create a forest

[Outro]
I just called to say
I know you're always sittin' in the barrio, waiting
