New York, New York Lyrics - Gold - Ryan Adams

Well, I shuffled through the city on the 4th of July 

I had a firecracker waiting to blow 

Breakin' like a robber who was makin' his way 

To the cities of Mexico 

Lived in an apartment out on Avenue A 

I had a tar-hut on the corner of 10th 

Had myself a lover who was finer than gold 

But I've been broken up and busted up since 

And love don't play any games with me 

Anymore like she did before 

The world won't wait, so I better shake 

That thing right out there through the door 

Hell, I still love you, New York

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds 

Of my wallet and it stayed pretty good 

Still amazed I didn't lose it on the roof of the place 

When I was drunk and I was thinking of you 

Every day the children they were singing their tune 

Out on the streets and you could hear from inside 

Used to take the subway up to Houston and 3rd 

I would wait for you and I'd try to hide 

And love won't play any games with you 

Anymore if you don't want 'em to 

The world won't wait and I watched you shake 

But honey, I don't blame you 

Hell, I still love you, New York 

Hell, I still love you, New York 

New York

I remember Christmas in the blistering cold 

In a church on the upper west side 

Babe, I stood their singing, I was holding your arm 

You were holding my trust like a child 

Found a lot of trouble out on Avenue B 

But I tried to keep the overhead low 

Farewell to the city and the love of my life 

At least we left before we had to go 

And love won't play any games with you 

Anymore if you want 'em to 

So we better shake this old thing out the door 

I'll always be thinkin' of you 

I'll always love you though New York 

I'll always love you though New York, New York, New York
