On the east side of St. Lawrence Boulevard
There's a whole different world
People talking and laughing at anything
In the summertime whirl

Nobody's asking questions
'Bout who you are and where you've been
Just willing to live and let live
Whatever state you might find yourself in

I'm goin' back again someday
Down where the river meets the ocean

On the west side of St. Lawrence Boulevard
It's somethin' else again
Another feeling, a different culture
And people hangin' with their old friends

Nobody seems to notice
About what's changing on the other side
Someday that we'll come together, Lord
Reach across this great divide

I'm goin' back again someday
Down where the river meets the ocean
Yeah yeah

I'm goin' back again someday
And that's where I'll stay, Lord
That's where I'm gonna stay

Some people tell no lies
Some people wear their hats too tight
Some people forgive and forget you, but
Some of them never let you

They say my home in the land of snow is cold
Let me tell you what it's like
Eleven months of winter baby and
Just one month of pretty thin ice

I'm goin' back again someday
Down where the river meets the ocean
I'll tell you, yeah

I'm goin' back again someday
And that's where I'll stay, Lord
That's where I'm gonna stay
And that's where I'll stay, Lord
That's where I'm gonna stay
