Lyrics
My Madison Girl
You're my Madison Girl
And you gave it a whirl
You took a chance
Now you ended up
The one I adore
Yes you wanted more
Praying for peace
Headed for the Jersey Shore
Chorus: Now you are quite relieved
And you can now believe in yourself
And the wealth in your soul
You're my Madison Girl
With your flag now unfurled
You can look back
At all the hard times
You had to endure
Now you couldn't ignore
A voice so aggrieved
Telling you it's time to leave
Chorus: Soon you just had to quit
Your plans they didn't fit in his world
For a Madison Girl
Days pass, the mind aches
You're caught in such high stakes
The world didn't care when you started to break
You're my Madison Girl
You're the finest of pearls
Yes you left home forlorn
Now you had to start
All over again
It was so hard to pretend
That you could enjoy
Those lonely nights without the boy
Now you can hardly hear
The sound within your ear
Crying out
It's the sum of your fears
Now all of the years have past
The boy became a man
The bond you had was always there
Could he understand?
(Instrumental)
Time sends a letter
Soon things get better
You're covered in raindrops
You pray for good weather
You're my Madison girl
In your Madison world
You needed some hope
on a lonely street you started to pray
oh what a day
miracles happen
this one so far away
She answered all your prayers
A woman came and
Upset the cart
Then she soothed your son's heart
You're leaving your Jersey world
For the San Fran Bay
All the love that you felt inside
poured out on their wedding day!
You're my Madison Girl
And you gave it a whirl
Your son took your hand
Right out on the dance floor
Feeling complete
You danced cheek to cheek
What a wonderful day
So much left for you to say
Now the summer's come and gone
You can't forget the bond
that you've made
And your soul that's been saved
(Repeat and fade)
You're my Madison Girl
And you gave it a whirl
You took a chance
Now you ended up
The one I adore
Yes you wanted more
Praying for peace
Headed for the Jersey Shore
