I finally found a girl to love
It's time for me to settle down
The trouble is that I can't decide
Where to spend the rest of my life
At first I thought I wanted to be
One more east coast family
But now I'm not so sure anymore
Which coast I love more

East coast or west coast?
East coast or west coast?

The east is where your family is
It's where you grew up
Where you raise you kids

The west is where you paid your dues
Made your name and had your breakthroughs

The east has a more intellectual bent

The west has winners bound for success

I know that's stale but I can't decide
Where I want to reside
East coast or west coast?
East coast or west coast?

I'm so sick of moving around
Once and for all I wanna settle down
Moved so much when I was a kid
Always trying to make new friends

If it's roots that you want, come on
The west is where you lived for so long
It's got your bros and your doctors too
The hairstylist that perfected your 'do

No, that ain't nothing that you should mind
Think of the ironwood trees that you climbed
When you were a kid and the seasons would change
It just ain't right when they stay the same

Lookin' out on the turbulence
Letting go is my greatest strength
Giving up and dissolving in the night

East coast or west coast?
East coast or west coast?

(I think you know where you wanna live bro)
