City By The Bay

Wanderlust claimed my soul
When I was twenty three
I've roamed and rambled
But knew home would always be
A city by the bay
Where cobblestone lines the streets
And the smell of the tide is carried
By the breeze of the Chesapeake
Where we could busk for cash
Down in the market space
And we would share a flask
Til we made enough to buy a case
Where we knew a couple bars
That were easy on ID's
Or we could always grab a bottle
And start a fire on the beach

No matter where I go
I'll always come back home
To my city by the bay

City by the bay
Our city by the bay
City by the bay

Now I am a man grown
Most of my friends have moved away
And the bars we used to sneak in
They all go by different names
Life became so fast
Boys grew into men
Making money for the bills
Replaced house parties that would never end
But gone it ain't forgotten
And I'll keep moving like the tide
And home it'll always be
Any bar where we can share a pint
We were legends in our time
Making the most out of our youth
We grew our separate ways
But we'll always share our roots

No matter where we go
We'll always have our home
Back at our city by the bay

City by the bay
Our city by the bay
City by the bay
