Shannon McNally - 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 bar And they made me beneath Leo's rising star With Elvis on the radio singing love me tender, love me true [Chorus] Bury my heart on the Jersey Shore Bury my heart yeah Bury my heart no matter where I run Bury my heart yeah As soon as I could walk I ran Stayed about as still as sand And 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 want to go home [Chorus] Sha la la la la la I never have stood still in the sun or the rain Like that old littering pine tree When time moves on I move along but the images will always be With each pa**ing year 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 [Chorus]
