Steve Earle - N. Y. C. Lyrics

Send "N. Y. C." ringtone to your cell

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 hell"

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
