lirik lagu steve earle - n. y. c.
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 told me with a grin
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, never did complain
said he’d come a thousand miles through sleet and snow and rain
he had a hundred stories ’bout the places that he’d been
he’d hang around a little while and hit the road again
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
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 and i climbed out of my car
grabbed his battered suitcase, 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 h-ll”
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
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
going to new york city
going to new york city
going to new york city
