Lyrics for NYC by Earle Steve:
| | | Artist: | Earle Steve |
| | Album: | El Corazon | | Track: | NYC | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 260 | | | | 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'
