St. Jean's

The boys were revving up their engines
Racing for nickels and dimes
I can still smell the scent of gasoline
It just lingered in the air

Went down close to the beach
Sweet Marie and I were standing by the shore
Still remember those words I said
As I looked in your eyes

And I wish I could get back there
Wish I could get back there
How I wish I could get back there
To the boardwalk by St. Jean's

There was this pretty young girl named Maybeline
She worked at the ice cream stand
Back when the cost of a cone was only a couple of cents

I heard that the church came down
After standing for a 130 years
I don't live there anymore
But it almost brought me to tears

And I wish I could get back there
Wish I could get back there
How I wish I could get back there
To my life down by St. Jean's
