The Ballad of Quinn McKaye (original song) - Video

Lyrics:

So in the summer of that year we packed our bags
And headed south of the border
We exorcised our demons with acoustic guitars
And waited for an answer
If there's anything that I will never forget
It's the way we left our worst memories behind
We lost ourselves out there in the ocean
And on rooftops at night
Sing me something nice about the east coast
Cause it's where you wanted to be

(Chorus):
Well is Boston all you pictured it in your head?
Don't let the weather let you forget
All the summers we wreaked havoc
In the backyards of ex-girlfriends
We wrote these songs together
And we played them as if we never
Knew what it was like to be at home

I can still remember how we drove all that way for nothing
Just to beat the weather, and to water some trees
It was sometime towards the end of last August
When you gracefully bowed out and said goodbye
Sing me something nice about the east coast
Cause it's where you wanted to be

(Chorus)

Now this city's becoming a memory
But that's okay as long as you feel happy
Just a few more years and we'll see where we're off to
But don't forget that this will always be your home

So send me a postcard or a letter
Anything you need to keep it touch
And make sure that I hear all of your new songs
It shouldn't be too much to ask
Sing me something nice about the east coast
Cause it's where you wanted to be

(Chorus)
