Coney Island (Good Old War Cover) Lyrics
I found a letter in the mailbox today
It said thank you for your thoughts but I'm done
You said that I would never build this up right here
And I said that's why I can't work with you son
Well I can't let this go I'm on my way
But you can only hold my diamond ring
Well I go crawling back to the woman I love
She's already taken everything
Im goin' to Coney Island and have myself a dog
Reminisce why I still hate it here
It's all these people with their cotton candy eyes
It's so sweet now put your train in gear
Well I can't let this go I'm on my way
But you can only hold my diamond ring
Well I go crawling back to the woman I love
She's already taken everything
The ground is swallowing my options for release
And if it rains we might just disappear
I counted oh so many friends up there today
I'm thinking that's why I still love it here
I'm thinking that's why I still love it here
Well I can't let this go I'm on my way
But you can only hold my diamond ring
Well I go crawling back to the city I love
Because its already taken everything
Well I can't let this go I'm on my way
Because you can only hold my diamond ring
Well I go crawling back to the woman I love
She's already taken everything
It said thank you for your thoughts but I'm done
You said that I would never build this up right here
And I said that's why I can't work with you son
But you can only hold my diamond ring
Well I go crawling back to the woman I love
She's already taken everything
Reminisce why I still hate it here
It's all these people with their cotton candy eyes
It's so sweet now put your train in gear
But you can only hold my diamond ring
Well I go crawling back to the woman I love
She's already taken everything
And if it rains we might just disappear
I counted oh so many friends up there today
I'm thinking that's why I still love it here
I'm thinking that's why I still love it here
But you can only hold my diamond ring
Well I go crawling back to the city I love
Because its already taken everything
Because you can only hold my diamond ring
Well I go crawling back to the woman I love
She's already taken everything

Not sure what Anthony Green was going for on this one, especially as its a cover, but what I get from it is maybe being weary of being on the road and wanting so much to be at home. And then trying to find why home feels like home once you are there? I don't know, its an amazing acoustic song. If your looking for it he performed it for an acoustic session with Alternative Press.
you idiot
it's not "anthony greens" it's good old wars
don't try to analyze it, just let it be toke some dank chron tron, hit that bong real hard, let the music take you breh...
good old war is better anyway
c'mon!! this is green man. he did a cover of this song (by good old wars) because they're friends of him. and GOW helped in green's solo album "avalon".
