Lyrics

GEO WASH BR / © 1977 James Barton
From the Left In The Wake CD

This day to day living has got me down
It wants to be left behind
I’ve worn a path all over this town
It tends to wear down your mind
I wanna go where the trees don’t grow
Don’t care if the sun don’t shine
I want to stay where the days are crazy
And the music plays all night

And some day I’m gonna hit the George Washington Bridge
Just like the sun over Jubilee Ridge
At four in the morning, windows rolled down
Radio blasting my favorite song
And look out Manhattan, the gentleman’s arrived
Sun in the ocean and the stars in his eyes

Making hot love with the windows open
Listen to the avenue
It keeps you awake and it speaks outspoken
And it never sings in tune
But you pays your money and you takes your chances
Living on the boulevard
Change your days with the circumstances
And spend your nights with a bodyguard

And some day I’m gonna hit the George Washington Bridge…

And you can lose your soul on the subway
And lose your soul on the sand
Lose your soul on the subway
Anybody can
Easily, peacefully
Anybody can, anybody can, anybody can

So look for me baby, ‘cause I’ll be there
This corner has got my name
I’ve washed my face and I’ve combed my hair
And I’m ready to play the game

And some day I’m gonna hit the George Washington Bridge…
