lyrics

I'm headed out to Brooklyn
Gotta find myself a job
And spend my nights,
working on a dream
Gotta find a new apartment
Some place I can't afford
and hope it isn't too far from the train

Tell me Why....
Did I....
Have to try?

Cause a song called to me,
and I'll answer faithfully
What if I don't get this chance again?

A year now has passed since
I've seen my father's house
I'm going home to welcome back the spring
I'm gonna walk through the garden
Play a song out on the porch
A week goes by and I'll be gone again.

Tell me Why....
Did I....
say goodbye?

Cause a song called to me,
and I'll answer faithfully
What if I don't get this chance again?
Yes it all comes to me,
and I accept it thankfully
Who knows if it's going to come again?

I've been getting fat here
on free drinks and dinners
Come the 5th, my rent is overdue

Tell me Why....
Did I....
Have to try?

Cause a song called to me,
and I'll answer faithfully
What if I don't get this chance again?
