Lyrics New York - Goodnight, Texas

New York

New York, I’ll make do in a place that isn’t you
Though I once had a dream of making my debut
On your salty frozen streets where I could be another face
New York I’ll make do without you
Now I pay my taxes in a town I never grew into
Where the buildings aren’t as tall, and the baseball team is blue
And the bagels aren’t as hot, and the people aren’t as cold
Oh New York I really wish that it was you
Well I’d roll into Grand Central just myself and a guitar
And I take it meet the avenues play for subway cars
If I trid that here they’d push m on the tracks before the train
New York this city’s close but no cigar
And I’d love to trade my car keys for a ride on MTA
Cause I find myself in traffic nearly 5 hours a day
Ain’t no way to please the bookers when you’re late for all your shows
Oh New York you’ve got to save me from LA
Living in the Village is the life I want someday
Take a stroll along MacDougal Street and sit at a cafe
But without a million dollars I can’t even spend a day
Oh New York I can’t afford you anyway
New York, I can’t afford you anyway, no, no
New York, I can’t afford you anyway
