East Coast Queen Lyrics - Jerry Leger

On the East Coast she's living 

Like a Queen by a throne 

And when I drive there 

I drive to all the places she goes 

The boys on the island 

The men at the docks 

Say, "give her my pleas 

If she comes back to me 

She'll get whatever she wants" 

She was my dear Mary 

But I lost her in May 

She told me it hurt her 

To know the words she'd have to say 

Like the world is so funny 

And our love, it ain't real 

You have the passion in your head 

But it's not in this bed 

It's just a way we can't feel 

Oh, but I can't stop thinking 

No nothing ever slows down 

If I didn't love her 

Then why is she always around? 

When I get up in the morning 

To when the lights go out 

She's there in my head 

I'm alone in my bed 

She's off on the town 

When I got home this evening 

There was a note on my door 

It read "you poor soul 

You better not think of me anymore 

I know you've been tracking 

My each and every move 

But baby, we're done 

There's no dance, no song 

I'm just someone you knew"
