SONG LYRICS

Ocean Avenue 

Running down Ocean Avenue 
Got my eyes fixed on that strip of blue 
Nothing in this world that I’d rather do 
Than run on down Ocean Avenue 

Marking time until the work bell rings 
Can’t wait to quit and pack up my things 
Out through the gates and down past the swings 
round the corner where the church choir sings 

and I’m running down Ocean Avenue 
Got my eyes fixed on that strip of blue 
Nothing in this world that I’d rather do 
than run on down Ocean Avenue 

We grew up here the Sea’s in our blood 
It’s mixed with rock’s and sand and mud 
I’ll tell you something come on listen here bud 
I’ve got a hot rod engine underneath my hood 

Weekend nights out beneath the stars 
Singing songs and playing old guitars 
Up on the bridge the lights of trucks and cars 
And people spilling out of the waterfront bars 

and I’m running down Ocean Avenue 
Got my eyes fixed on that strip of blue 
Nothing in this World that I’d rather do 
than run on down Ocean Avenue 

We grew up here and sea’s in our blood 
It’s mixed with rock’s and sand and mud 
I’ll tell you something come on listen here bud 
I’ve got a hot rod engine underneath my hood 

And i'm running down Ocean Avenue 
Got my eyes fixed on that strip of blue 
Nothing in this world that i'd rather do 
than run on down Ocean Avenue 
yeah run on down Ocean Avenue
