The Year That I Was Born Lyrics - New York Before The War - Jesse Malin

Your favorite film opened up 

the year that I was born 

I didn't know what to say to you 

but I knew we'd get along 

Get on, get on, get on 

They say it's all about the chase 

Get on, get on, get on 

Some things you just can't escape 

Bye, bye, bye 

When all your life goes by 

Bye, bye, bye and bye 

I didn't want to let you down 

but I thing I might have spoke to soon 

I never said I could be friend 

with everybody in the room 

Get on, get on, get on 

See the lines on my face 

Come on, come on, come on 

You know the night is getting late 

Bye, bye, bye 

When all your life goes by 

Bye, bye, bye and bye 

Monday, another whistle blows 

Tuesday, I'm going to a show 

Friday, I'm working stiff 

You don't know how I live 

Living hard with the elements 

and we're trying to make it last 

Your parents worked and they bled a lot 

and they never really took a chance 

Bye, bye, bye 

When all your life goes by 

Thinking about you
