New York's Not My Home Lyrics - Photographs & Memories - Jim Croce

Things were spinnin' 'round me 

And all my thoughts were cloudy 

And I had begun to doubt all the things that were me 

Been in so many places, you know I've run so many races 

I looked into the empty faces of the people of the night 

Somethin' is just not right 

'Cause I know that I've gotta get outta here 

I'm so alone 

Don't you know that I gotta get outta here 

'Cause New York's not my home

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Though all the streets are crowded 

There's somethin' strange about it 

I lived there 'bout a year and I never once felt at home 

I thought I'd make the big time 

I learned a lot of lessons awfully quick 

And now I'm tellin' you that they were not the nice kind 

It has been so long since I have felt fine 

That's the reason that I've gotta get outta here 

I'm so alone 

Don't you know that I gotta get outta here 

'Cause New York's not my home 

That's the reason that I've gotta get outta here 

I'm so alone 

Don't you know that I gotta get outta here 

'Cause New York's not my home
