lyrics

The sun rises in the East but it sets in the West,
Let me put this rumor to rest.
Some believe that the East is less,
But the West coast doesn’t pass the test.
A big white sign and tumbleweed,
Six-gun shooters and tons of greed,
The grass is greener seems to be our creed,
But here at home, I got all I need.

It’s best in the West, or so they say
But I’m just fine East, by the bay,
We got evergreens, no palm trees,
but long winters for my skis.
I don’t care how the West was won,
I just wanna have some fun
This is Boston, not L.A.,
I’ll take Cape Cod any day

This ain’t the ghetto and it ain’t the streets,
Life ‘round here is pretty neat.
Try the chowda, it’s wicked sweet
I know the world and I’ve seen its themes,
Who’s to say what they really mean?
Who’s to say how to live the dream?
If you’re happy here, sing along with me:
