The Great Suburban Showdown Lyrics - Streetlife Serenade - Billy Joel

Flyin' east on a plane 

Drinkin' all that free champagne 

I guess I saw this comin' down the line 

And I know it should be fun 

But I think I should've packed my gun 

Got that old suburban showdown in my mind 

Sit around with the folks 

Tell the same old tired jokes 

Bored to death on sunday afternoon 

Mom and dad, me and you 

And the outdoor barbecue 

Think I'm gonna hide out in my room

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I've been gone for a while 

Made some changes in my style 

And they say you can't go home anymore 

Well the streets all look the same 

And I'll have to play the game 

We'll all sit around in the kitchen chairs 

With the tv on and the neighbors there 

Out in the yard 

Where my daddy worked so hard 

He never lets the crab grass grow too high 

Oh, the place hasn't changed 

And that's why I'm gonna feel so strange 

But I'll have to face the music bye and bye

I've been gone for a while 

Made some changes in my style 

And they say you can't go home anymore 

Well the streets all look the same 

And I'll have to play the game 

We'll all sit around in the kitchen chairs 

With the tv on and the neighbors there 

Drive into town 

When this big bird touches down 

I'm only comin' home to say goodbye 

Then I'm gone with the wind 

And I won't be seen again 

Till that great suburban showdown in the sky 

Till that great suburban showdown in the sky
