From my room, I see the blue Pacific Ocean
Ye, s my hotel has me right beside the shore
Well today it's San Francisco
And tomorrow it's LA
And I feel as though I've
Been this way before
Well my woman helps my feet
To keep on walkin' but my manager he stands
Right outside the door
Yes there's an up and coming superstar
And he's gettin' rave reviews
But there ain't no time for fishin' anymore

I never thought that things would go this far
I never thought that life would be this way
I never thought I'd be a supеrstar
Jesus Christ
I wish that I was back in Oyster Bay
Takin' it easy, oh yеah

But there's lots of friendly folks that say
"Good morning" but somehow, you know
I don't believe their smiles
I could be New York City bound where
I could be among my friends
But the roller back home it
Seems a million miles
I can see the lights of Hollywood below me
But somehow they just don't move
Me like they should
I know it's hard to understand
But I would be a fisherman
If I only had the chance, you know I would

I never thought that things would go this far
I never thought that I'd be here today
I never thought I'd be a superstar
Oh, Jesus Christ
I wish that I was back in Oyster Bay
Takin' it easy, oh yeah

(Drinking my wine all day
Happy to be that way)
(Wanting it back sometimes
Having some peace of mind)
(Drinking my wine all day
Happy to be that way)
(Wanting it back sometimes
Having some peace of mind)
(Drinking my wine all day
Happy to be that way)
(Wanting it back sometimes
Having some peace of mind)
