Steve Earle - N. Y. C. Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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:
  • Im 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
  • Its just too big a town
  • He was cold and wet and hungry
  • But he never did complain
  • Said hed come a thousand miles
  • Through sleet and snow and rain
  • He had a hundred stories
  • About the places that hed been
  • Hed hang around a little while
  • And hit the road again
  • Chorus
  • See Ive 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 wouldnt talk to me
  • I held out about a week
  • Went back to tennessee
  • So, I thought Id 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 didnt wish him well
  • I slipped the kid a twenty
  • Said billy give em hell
  • Chorus x 2
