Bury My Heart On The Jersey Shore Lyrics

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
