Straphangin’ - Joe Vincent Tranchina composer/lyricist

Verse 1.
He got up and offered me his seat and
I sat down.
I said thanks, finding a gentleman is
Hard in this town.
Ride this city’s subway ‘most ev’ry day and
I can’t remember when
Someone said, go ahead, I don’t mind if I stand.
Then we smiled just as if planned.
I’ll always recall just how he
Seemed that day,
Had a way,
As he kept strap hangin’.

Verse 2.
Then one word led to another as we
Shared the ride.
He said , please, don’t mind me mentionin’ what
I feel inside.
It’s been quite awhile since I’ve had a chat that
Got right down to my core.
I said, yeah, for me too.
Maybe we could talk some more.
Here’s my stop, I’m out the door.
Before we could exchange numbers,
He was gone.
Movin’ on.
As he kept strap hangin’.

Verse 3.
After I had met this person, I was
Feelin’ great.
Although, we didn’t even have the time to
Arrange a date.
Then while ridin’ the same subway and hopin’ to
See his face again.
He walked in
With a grin.
Said that he wouldn’t let me go.
I’m someone he’d like to know.
We then there decided that we
Had to see
What could be.
Now when we’re strap hangin’
We always think of how we met.
