Oyster Bay lyrics - Billy Joel

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

Well my woman helps my feet to keep on walking

But my manager he stands right outside the door

Yes there's an up and coming superstar and he's getting rave reviews

But there ain't no time for fishing 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

Jesus Christ, I wish that I was back in Oyster Bay

Taking it easy, oh yeah

But there's lots of friendly folks that say, "Good morning,"

But somehow, you know, I don't believe their smiles

I could be New York City bound where I could be among my friends

But the road back home it seems a million miles

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, Jesus Christ, I wish that I was back in Oyster Bay

Taking it easy, oh yeah

(Drinking my wine all day, happy to be that way)

(Wanting it back sometimes, having some peace of mind)

(Drinking my wine all day, happy to be that way)

(Wanting it back sometimes, having some peace of mind)

(Drinking my wine all day, happy to be that way)

(Wanting it back sometimes, having some peace of mind)
