lyrics

Saturday afternoon
Nothing to do
But read
August has come around
Everyone’s out of town
But me

Gonna walk to the river through an empty town
Gonna get to the river as the sun go down
Gonna stare across the river to the other side

I came here long ago
Put on my little show
I’ve done okay
Tried it like all the rest
Not quite what I dreamed, I guess
But I’ve done okay

Gonna walk to the river through an empty town
Gonna get to the river as the sun go down
Gonna stare across the river to the other side

“What do you see on the other side?”
It’s not heaven
“What do you see on the other side?”
No, it’s not heaven
It’s just Hoboken

Yeah

Gonna walk to the river through an empty town
Gonna get to the river as the sun go down
Gonna stare across the river to the other side
To the other side
To the other side
