A New York City Prayer Lyrics - Singles - Amanda Green

Johnny knew he wasnt like the others 

In the Dallas suburbs where he grew 

He had no taste for football like his brothers 

And by the time that he was 10 he knew 

Johnny spend long hours playing dress up 

Making dances, writing little skits 

Johnny dreamed of zipping chilled Martinis 

And dancing in a silk gown at the riss. 

Fueled by turner classics, his dreams were taking shape, 

While his brothers build a muscle card, he sowed himself a cape. 

And planned his great escape. 

Ooh hes praying a New York prayer, 

Ooh that New York city prayer 

Hes in that penthouse with Fred Astaire 

Praying to his God to get him there 

A New York prayer 

Johnny got a scholarship, one of the diffidence 

Of being bright but different and not having many friends 

He chose a school back in the East, there never was a doubt 

Was he scared? Not in the least. This was his ticket out! 

He loved his family but somethings you never could discuss 

He came out to his dad who said you arent one of us, 

And drove him to the bus 

Ooh hes praying New York payer 

Ooh that New York City prayer 

Let me be where I was meant to be 

And let me meet somebody there like me! 

I know Im one of millions and youve heard it all before 

I dont need that penthouse, just a mattress on the floor. 

I never wanna go back to the life I knew before, 

So please make room for just one more! 

Ooh hes praying a New York prayer 

Ooh that New York City prayer 

When I come wont you welcome me? 

Im putting all my faith in you, so wont you tell me what to do, and help me and listen to 

my New York prayer 

My New York City prayer 

My New York City prayer
