Boston Accent

I was born three thousand miles from where I came alive And I left without saying a word to start a new life But sometimes, in some random bar, it'll cut through the noise Like a breeze, in the summer heat, like an old friend's voice A boston accent Well, my brother, he got kicked out of school Yeah, my mom threw him out And my sister, she lives three streets over and two houses down And my father is buried in town by his father's side And me, I spent my whole damn life just trying to hide A Boston accent Moving through the crowd on that first night Lit like angels by the Citgo sign We walked across the bridge just to kill some more time 'Fore you had to go home Now you live in a pretty nice house out on Paul Revere road And you married some kid from our class who I didn't know And I saw you at Christmas Mass and you still looked the same I could almost feel your hands in my hair and you whisper my name In a Boston accent We moving through the crowd on that first night Lit like angels by the Citgo sign We walked across the bridge just to kill some more time 'Fore you had to go home Now there are doors that you can't open And some you can't close And my sister, she's getting married in June But I don't think I'll go And sometimes, in some random bar, it'll cut through the noise Like a breeze, in the summer heat, like an old friend's voice And you can change every inch of your life, but you're still just a boy With a Boston accent La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
