Bury My Heart On The Jersey Shore

When I die and lay me down

Cast my body to the sea

But bury my heart on the Jersey Shore

And every time you think of me

Know my mother was a beauty queen

My father tended a bar

And they made me beneath Leo's rising star

With Elvis on the radio singing

'Love Me Tender, Love Me True'

Bury my heart on the Jersey Shore

Bury my heart

Bury my heart no matter where I run

Bury my heart

Soon as I could walk I ran

Stayed about as still as sand

When I stopped and turned around

Said, ?Man, oh, man, how far I've come

Look at all these things I've done

Now you know I just wanna go home?

Bury my heart on the Jersey Shore

Bury my heart

Bury my heart no matter where I run

Bury my heart

I never have stood still in the sun or the rain

Like that old littering pine tree

When time moves on, oh, I go along

But the images will always be

With each passing year, oh, the lines will grow deeper

My memories will grow sweeter

The laughter will grow fainter

And I'll remain the painter of a love song from 1973

Bury my heart on the Jersey Shore

Bury my heart

Bury my heart no matter where I run

Bury my heart

Bury my heart on the Jersey Shore

Bury my heart

Bury my heart no matter where I run
