Lyrics for 'Nyc' by 'Steve Earle'
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'

Chorus X 2
