Intro: Verse: 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 Verse: 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 And 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 And Jesus Christ I wish that I Was back in Oyster Bay Takin' it easy... Oh yeah... Verse: But there's lots of friendly folks that say "good morning" But somehow you know I just don't believe their smiles I'd be New York City bound Where I could be among my friends But the road back home it seems a million miles Verse: 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... Instrumental:
