Bury My Heart On The Jersey Shore Lyrics - Singles - Shannon Mcnally

When I die and lay me down 

Cast my body to the sea 

But bury my heart on the Jersey Shore 

And every time you think of me 

Know my mother was a beauty queen 

My father tended bar 

And they made me beneath Leo's rising star 

With Elvis on the radio singing love me tender, love me true 

[Chorus] 

Bury my heart on the Jersey Shore 

Bury my heart yeah 

Bury my heart no matter where I run 

Bury my heart yeah 

As soon as I could walk I ran 

Stayed about as still as sand 

And when I stopped and turned around 

Said man oh man how far I've come 

Look at all these things I've done 

Now you know I just want to go home 

[Chorus] 

Sha la la la la la 

I never have stood still in the sun or the rain 

Like that old littering pine tree 

When time moves on 

I move along but the images will always be 

With each passing year the lines will grow deeper 

My memories will grow sweeter 

The laughter will grow fainter 

And I'll remain the painter of a love song from 1973 

[Chorus]
