New York Lyrics - Ozark Mountain Daredevils

(GUITAR & DRUMS INTRO) 

Welcome to the city, welcome to disaster 

You see a pretty girl, but you're walkin' right past her 

You give it up, get it back, Turn around and ask her 

She don't talk back so you talk a little faster 

Winkin' in a snapshot, wavin' like a bigshot 

You're feelin' pretty good 'til you think you hear a gunshot 

Another punk outta junk, Breakin' in a pawn shop 

Cops yell freeze so you take another snapshot 

Ah ... it's New York 

Ah ... it's New York 

I guess everything my daddy told me was right 

When you're in the Big Apple 

Then you better learn to take a bite 

(HARP SOLO) 

I guess everything my daddy told me was right 

When you're in the Big Apple 

Then you better learn to take a bite 

Workin' in a hotel, workin for the housedick 

You stop a little girl who's pullin' in her own tricks 

Talk awhile, get a smile, Make another sidekick 

It won't last long but it beats feelin' homesick 

Jumpin' in a taxi, gotta see the band play 

It's on a little sidestreet, a little off of Broadway 

You make a turn, then you learn, You're goin' down the wrong way 

The cabby wants a tip 'cause he got you there the hard way 

Ah ... it's New York 

Ah ... it's New York 

Ah ... it's New York 

Ah ... it's New York 

(GUITAR STUFF) 

It's New York 

(GUITAR & HARP STUFF) 

It's New York 

(GUITAR & HARP STUFF)
