Billy Joel Lyrics for Song: The Great Suburban Showdown
 Lyrics for Album: Streetlife Serenade [1974]
 
 
 
 36524>Flyin' east on a plane
 
 Drinkin' all that free champagne
 
 I guess I saw this comin' down the line
 
 And I know it should be fun
 
 But I think I should've packed my gun
 
 Got that old suburban showdown in my mind
 
 
 
 Sit around with the folks
 
 Tell the same old tired jokes
 
 Bored to death on Sunday afternoon
 
 Mom and Dad, me and you
 
 And the outdoor barbecue
 
 Think I'm gonna hide out in my room
 
 
 
 I've been gone for a while
 
 Made some changes in my style
 
 And they say you can't go home anymore
 
 Well the streets all look the same
 
 And I'll have to play the game
 
 We'll all sit around in the kitchen chairs
 
 With the TV on and the neighbors there
 
 
 
 Out in the yard
 
 Where my Daddy worked so hard
 
 He never lets the crab grass grow too high
 
 Oh, the place hasn't changed
 
 And that's why I'm gonna feel so strange
 
 But I'll have to face the music bye and bye
 
 
 
 I've been gone for a while
 
 Made some changes in my style
 
 And they say you can't go home anymore
 
 Well the streets all look the same
 
 And I'll have to play the game
 
 We'll all sit around in the kitchen chairs
 
 With the TV on and the neighbors there
 
 
 
 Drive into town
 
 When this big bird touches down
 
 I'm only comin' home to say goodbye
 
 Then I'm gone with the wind
 
 And I won't be seen again
 
 Till that great suburban showdown in the sky
 
 Till that great suburban showdown in the sky
