lyrics

New York

New York, I'm comin'
New York, I'm on my way

Ridin down the West Side Highway / Lights on the George Washington
When she's lookin' my way / I could turn all those lights on

New York, I'm comin' / New York, I'm on my way

Hey Mr. Yellow Cab driver/ Please don't kill me tonight
I know your crazy But I'm going to see my baby
And I gotta get there all right
Hey Mr. UPS Man / Take your foot off the brake
Put the pedal to the metal, I got a score to settle / So step on the gas, fer chris'sake

New York, I'm comin' / New York, I'm on my way

I'm takin' a road trip / I can't let minute slip by / There's a spot on her left hip
My hands made for / My heart is sore / And I need her medicine / New York

VERSE SOLO

Hang her face from the City / Suspend her smile from the Brooklyn Bridge
I was a stray cat / I’m home now that / she hung my picture on her fridge

New York, I'm comin' / New York, I'm on my way
I'm takin' a road trip / I can't let minute slip by / There's a spot on her left hip
My hands made for / My heart is sore / And I need her medicine / New York

New York, I'm comin' / New York, I'm on my way etc ad lib ...
These little town blues won't get in my way, I'm comin someday to New York City ... or maybe LA
