Viewing Lyrics for N.Y.C.:
| | | Artist: | Steve Earle |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | N.Y.C. | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 132 | | | | Lyrics: | He was standing on the highway
Somewhere way out in the sticks
Guitar across his shoulder
Like a 30 ought six
He was staring in my headlights
When I come around the bend
Climbed up on my shotgun side
And told me with a grin
Chorus:
I'm going to
New York City
I never really been there
Just like the way it sounds
I heard the girls
are pretty
There must be something happening there
It's just too big a town
He
was cold and wet and hungry
But he never did complain
Said he'd come a thousand miles
Through sleet and snow and rain
He had a hundred stories
About the places that he'd
been
He'd hang around a little while
And hit the road again
Chorus
See I've been to New York City
Seems like it was yesterday
I was standing like a pilgrim
On the Great White Way
The girls were really pretty
But they wouldn't talk to me
I held out about a week
Went back to Tennessee
So, I thought I'd better warn him
As he climbed out of my car
Grabbed his battered suitcase
And shouldered his guitar
I knew I was just jealous
If I didn't wish him well
I slipped the kid a twenty
Said 'Billy give 'em hell'
