Good Old War Coney Island lyrics

I found a letter in the mailbox today
And I said "thank you for your thoughts, but I'm done"
I said that I would never build this up right here
And why he said "that's why I can't work with you son"

I can't let this go, I'm on my way
And you can only hold my diamond ring
I go crawling back to the city I love
Cause it's already taken everything

I'm going to Coney Island to have myself a dog
And reminisce why I still hate it here
It's all these people with their cotton candy eyes
It's so sweet, not put the train in gear

I can't let this go, I'm on my way
And you can only hold my diamond ring

I go crawling back to the city I love
Cause it's already taken everything

The ground was swallowing my options for release
And if it rains they might just disappear
I could 27 birds up there today
I'm thinking that's what I still love it here, I'm thinking that's why I still love it here

I can't let this go, I'm on my way
And you can only hold my diamond ring
I go crawling back to the city I love
Cause it's already taken everything
Cause it's already taken everything
