[Vanessa: Verse 1]
D G The elevated train by my window D Doesn't faze me anymore D G The rattling screams don't disrupt my dreams F#m G It's a lullaby, in its way D G The elevated train drives everyone insane D A But I don't mind, oh no D G When I bring back boys they can't tolerate the noise F#m G And that's okay, 'cause I never let them stay
[Chorus 1]
G And one day, I'm hoppin' that elevated A D train and I'm riding away! A D It won't be long now!
[Vanessa: Verse 2]
D G The boys around the way holler at me when D I'm walking down the street D G Their machismo pride doesn't break my stride— F#m G It's a compliment, so they say D G The boys around the way holler at me every D G day but I don't mind, oh no D G If I'm in the mood, it will not be with some dude F#m G Who is whistling 'cause he has nothing to say F#m Or who's honking at me from his Chevrolet!
[Chorus 2]
G A And one day... I'm hoppin' in a limousine D and I'm driving away! A D It won't be long now!
[Usnavi, Benny, Sonny: Verse 3]
G Oh snap! Who’s that? G Don't touch me, I'm too hot! Yes! G Qué pasó? Here I go! G A So dope! Y tu lo sabes! G No pare // Sigue sigue! G Did you see me? // Freaky freakit! G A What a way to begin the weekend G A Sonny, anything you want is free, man! G And my dearly beloved Dominican Republic, I haven't forgotten you! A F#m Gonna see this honey, make a little money, and one day, I'll hop Jet Blue! G But until that fateful day, I'm grateful A I got a destination G I'm runnin' to make it home A And home's what Vanessa's runnin' away from! G I'm runnin' to make it home A And home's what Vanessa's runnin' away from...
[Vanessa: Verse 4]
D G The neighborhood salon is the place I am D working for the moment D G As I cut their hair, ladies talk and share F#m G Every day, who's doin' who and why... D G The neighborhood salon doesn't pay me what D G I wanna be making but I don't mind D G As I sweep the curb I can hear those turbo F#m G engines blazing a trail through the sky
[Outro]
G F#m I look up and think about the years gone by G A Bm But one day—I'm walkin' to JFK and I'm gonna fly! A G It won't be long now! Bm A D Any day...
