Bury My Heart On The Jersey Shore (McNally Shannon)

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
