C. lyricsSteve Earle LyricsHe 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: Im 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 Its just too big a town He was cold and wet and hungry But he never did complain Said hed come a thousand miles Through sleet and snow and rain He had a hundred stories About the places that hed been Hed hang around a little while And hit the road again Chorus See Ive 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 wouldnt talk to me I held out about a week Went back to tennessee So, I thought Id 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 didnt wish him well I slipped the kid a twenty Said billy give em hell Chorus x 2 |
