== Lyrics ==<br />
<blockquote><poem><br />
We got married under the Golden Gate<br />
Then we got drunk in the Upper Haight<br />
It was a sunny day<br />
All our friends got laid<br />
And when we got a little older we moved away<br />
<br />
Took I-80 to New York City<br />
It's a long damn way but it sure is pretty<br />
We ran out of gas<br />
Near Colfax<br />
And delivered our first child 9 months after that<br />
<br />
And I just called to say<br />
I know you're always sitting in the barrio waiting<br />
There will come a day<br />
And it'll be easier to fly away than it will be to stay<br />
<br />
Lived in a New York studio<br />
'Til we left the city for a modest home<br />
A Springsteen song<br />
A whole life long<br />
A breeze that lifts your head once before it's gone<br />
<br />
Time will come and shift its weight<br />
The laugh lines, bruised knees, birthday cake<br />
And when I die I'll see your face in a sun dress on a Saturday<br />
<br />
And I just called to say<br />
I know you're always sitting in the barrio waiting<br />
I know that there will come a day<br />
And it'll be easier to fly away than it will be to stay<br />
</poem></blockquote><br />
