New York Is Killing Me |
Yeah the doctors don’t know, but New York was killing me, |
Bunch of doctors coming round, they don’t know |
That New York is killing me |
Yeah I need to go home and take it slow in Jackson, Tennessee |
Let me tell ya fast city ain’t living all |
It’s cracked up to be |
Fast city living it all |
It’s cracked up to be |
Yes seem I need to go home |
And slow down in Jackson, Tennessee |
Yes I lay down, I lay down |
The doctor: «Try to take it all in» |
Yeah lay down, lay down |
To try to take it all in |
(Take it all in) |
Yeah you got 8 million people |
And I didn’t have a single friend |
Don’t you know, don’t you know |
New York was killing me |
Yes, I was standing nearly dying here |
New York was killing me |
Seems like I need to start over |
And move back home in Jackson, Tennessee |
Lord have mercy, mercy on me |
Yeah Lord have mercy, have mercy on me |
Tell him to bury my body back home in Jackson, Tennessee |
Yeah Lord have mercy, have mercy on me |
Yeah I need to be back home, need to be back home, |
Need to be back home, need to be back home yeah |
Born in Chicago but I go home Tennessee |
Yeah I born in Chicago but I… |
