Identification, Please When you're driving in your car Or you look out the window Outside your room And you watch the streets slide by Past the trees go trucks and trains On a ribbon in the sky Lights suspended in the wind As they soar above the town Headed for the big light Hudson County by the coast Of all the places in New Jersey It's the one I love the most I would take you there if you would understand That I've bartered away my life I'm looking for a sign Things just haven't gone the way I planned You can tell me by the sand in my eyes I've got my hair down in my eyes And I'm talking to someone I hardly know I've been locked outside your room And the sign said to please go home I've been wandering for an hour Reading every single sign Until my body fades away And then I'm going back home To Hudson County by the coast Of all the places in New Jersey It's the one I love the most I would take you there if you would understand That I've bartered away my life I'm looking for a sign Things just haven't gone the way I planned You can tell me by the sand in my eyes back |
