On the east side of St Laurence Blvd
There's a whole different world
People talking and laughing at anything
In the summertime whirl
Nobody's asking questions
'Bout who you are and where you've been
Just willing to live and let live
Whatever state you might find yourself in
I'm goin' back again someday
Down where the river meets the ocean
I'm goin' back again - someday
And that's where I'll stay - That's where I'm gonna stay
On the west side of St Lawrence Blvd
It's somethin' else again
Another feeling, a different culture
And people hangin' with their old friends
Nobody seems to notice - About what's changing on the other side
Someday we will come together
Reach across this great divide
I'm goin' back again someday
Down where the river meets the ocean
I'm goin' back again - someday
And that's where I'll stay - That's where I'm gonna stay
Some people tell no lies - some people wear their hats too tight
Some people forgive and forget you - Some of them never let you
They say my home in the land of snow is nice
Let me tell you what it's like
It's eleven months of winter baby and
Just one month of pretty thin ice
I'm goin' back again someday
Down where the river meets the ocean
I'm goin' back again - someday
And that's where I'll stay - That's where I'm gonna stay
