Lyrics
Emerald City Blues by Angela Jossy
I wanna live in Seattle, drive a fancy car
Start up my own dot com, at night I?ll be a rock star
I wanna live like friends do, with friends across the hall
We?ll hang out at Starbucks and shop at Westlake Mall
I?ve got the Emerald City Blues
I?ve got the Emerald City Blues
I?ve got the Emerald City Blues
Goin? down to pike street, ride the monorail
Gotta take my checkbook, cause everything?s on sale
Take a cab to Safeco, and down to Pioneer Square
And when I hit the dance floor, the Sonics will be there
I?ve got the Emerald City Blues
I?ve got the Emerald City Blues
I?ve got the Emerald City Blues
