Queens New York Embrace

I stepped my feet on the streets of Queens New York at 15 
At that time scared and full of adventure
Coming from Tennessee life as I've known was different
The slang it's own language was so bewildering 

Almost like I was in a different country, but it was only New York's manner
The mix of all cultures like a melted pack of crayon's 
Everyone living aside one other, as if this is the way mankind intended to be 
The lady's finding my country grammar a charm

The guys finding it a joke 
In my heart filled with love, but the young teen girl's fill with lust
Within months I found a pack of friend who stayed until the end 
We ran wild in our teenage years
Never leaving another's side, because we didn't won't to be the one told about the night's insanity

As we grew our teen sprits never died 
Tattooed to our skin to never forget
The late nights of boozed confusion, and Mary Jane hugging our lungs like a long lost loved one 
We hop from bar to bar

Jumped from scuff to scuff
Carrying the looks upon our face of one fights we all fight 
Living free an leaving the fear of death at our door steps uninvited
As the day got short from sleep 

The night got bigger with excitement
The hey go fuck yourself filled the air 
Blew from our mouths like cigarette smoke 
The party was endless, but age became alive 

Over the years I realized I couldn't memorize any normal good 
Only parties which had some violence tagging along 
The older me knocking at my window 
Noticing I've got no wife nor child, as some of my friends 

The thoughts of being alone haunted me 
Only in my sober New York state of mind 
Mary Jane held my hand with one hand, and poured whiskey with the other
Hypnotized by Molly's beautiful view of New York lights

On a collision course to my eternal rest
I awoke one day at the age of 27
Saying to myself this isn't me 
I partied a few last time with a couple of pal's at a time 

Saying goodbye to those I could 
Vanishing on those I couldn't tell goodbye, because of the thought of their hurt would have stop me 
I moved back to my little hick town alive and well
Finding the love of my love now 

Fulfilling me once again with love and care 
Killing lonesomeness placing it in a sallow grave 
Until the day we meet again 
Goodbye and fair well Queens New York
