Mark Russell - Take Me Home To Bayonne (1988) Goin’ home now, past auto junk yards, Poison gases, chemical refineries. See that black smoke, smell that rubber burn, How I long to go home and spot my lungs again. [Chorus] Take me home, to Bayonne, To the place that I call home, Jersey City, by the turnpike, Underneath exit 14-G. Hello, toll booth, Mom’s collectin'. By Pulaski Skyway, they’re always short of men. My eyes are burnin' for the diesel engines. How I long to go home and spit that phlegm again. [Chorus] Well east of Newark and we loaded up the freighters, And then we sold flamingos for our neighbor's front yard. Then I moved out west to the Colorado Mountains. The air out there sure made breathin' hard, breathin' hard. [Chorus] Take me home, to Bayonne, To the place that I call home, Jersey City, by the turnpike, Underneath... (cough, cough, cough) exit 14-G.
Born and Raised in Buffalo I so get this, I've sung this song for myself 1000 Times. TY for posting Mark is Brilliant.
Mark Russell - Take Me Home To Bayonne (1988)
Goin’ home now, past auto junk yards,
Poison gases, chemical refineries.
See that black smoke, smell that rubber burn,
How I long to go home and spot my lungs again.
[Chorus]
Take me home, to Bayonne,
To the place that I call home,
Jersey City, by the turnpike,
Underneath exit 14-G.
Hello, toll booth, Mom’s collectin'.
By Pulaski Skyway, they’re always short of men.
My eyes are burnin' for the diesel engines.
How I long to go home and spit that phlegm again.
[Chorus]
Well east of Newark and we loaded up the freighters,
And then we sold flamingos for our neighbor's front yard.
Then I moved out west to the Colorado Mountains.
The air out there sure made breathin' hard, breathin' hard.
[Chorus]
Take me home, to Bayonne,
To the place that I call home,
Jersey City, by the turnpike,
Underneath... (cough, cough, cough) exit 14-G.
