Lyrics

Verse 1:
These winter nights can sure be long.

Man I wonder what time it is over there

But damn girl, your hands are strong, pushing through my hair.

I almost slipped and broke my heart out in the icy cold.

I thank you, for reminding me, that it's time, it's time to move long.

Chorus:
Ain't no lady worth belly aching for -
When you're a long Island Sailor On the Jersey Shore

I said:

Ain't no lady worth belly aching for -
When you're a long Island Sailor On the Jersey Shore

Verse 2:
Last night I was out in a storm.

Man those waves through back some memories -

Of a girl, that I knew one week and three years before.

But I crossed that Manasqaun Bar.

I through my lines ashore.

Olivia, she laid my troubles down.

Lyndsay and Holly passed my heart around.

Chorus:
Ain't no memory worth mezmorizing for -
When you're a L.I. Sailor
On the Jersey Shore.

I said:

Ain't no lady worth belly aching for -
When you're a L.I. Sailor

On the Jersey Shore

(Guitar Solo)

Verse 3:
You say you'd like to take a wintry walk.

Yeah I'd like to do that.

Down the beach, while the wind's laid low.

In that air - and that ice and you're holding me oh so tight.

Chorus:
Ain't no lady worth belly aching for -
When you're a long Island Sailor On the Jersey Shore

I said:

Ain't no lady worth belly aching for -
When you're a long Island Sailor On the Jersey Shore
