Ryan Adams - New York, New York Lyrics
Well, I shuffled through the city on the 4th of julyI had a firecracker waiting to blowBreakin like a rocket who makin its wayTo the cities of mexicoLived in an apartment out on avenue aI had a tar-hut on the corner of 10thHad myself a lover who was finer than goldBut Ive broken up and busted up sinceAnd love dont play any games with meAnymore like she did beforeThe world wont wait, so I better shakeThat thing right out there through the doorHell, I still love you, new yorkFound myself a picture that would fit in the foldsOf my wallet and it stayed pretty goodStill amazed I didnt lose it on the roof of the placeWhen I was drunk and I was thinking of youEvery day the children they were singing their tuneOut on the streets and you could hear from insideUsed to take the subway up to houston and 3rdI would wait for you and Id try to hideAnd love wont play any games with meAnymore if you dont want it toThe world wont wait and I watched you shakeBut honey, I dont blame youHell, I still love you, new yorkHell, I still love you, new yorkNew yorkI remember christmas in the blistering coldIn a church on the upper west sideBabe, I stood their singing, I was holding your armYou were holding my trust like a childFound a lot of trouble out on avenue bBut I tried to keep the overhead lowFarewell to the city and the love of my lifeAt least we left before we had to goAnd love wont play any games with youAnymore if you want em toSo we better shake this old thing out the doorIll always be thinkin of youIll always love you though new yorkIll always love you though new york, new york, new york
