On the east side of St. Laurence Blvd
There's a whole different world
People tasking 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
Chorus :
I'm going back again someday
Down where the river meets the ocean
I'm going back again someday
And that's where I'll stay
That's where I'm gonna stay
On the west side of St. Laurence Blvd
It's something else again
Another feeling, a different culture
And people hanging 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
CHORUS
Some people tell no lies
Some people wear their hats too tight
Some people forgive and forget you but
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
