Lyrics New York - Goodnight , Texas

New York, I'll make do
In a place that isn't you
Though I once had a dream
Of making my debut
On your salty frozen streets where I could be another face
New York I'll make do without you

Now I pay my taxes in a town I never grew into
Where the buildings aren't as tall, and the baseball team is blue
And the bagels aren't as hot, and the people aren't as cold
Oh New York I really wish that it was you

Well I'd roll into Grand Central just myself and a guitar
And I take it meet the avenues play for subway cars
If I tried that here they'd push me on the tracks before the train
New York this city's close but no cigar

And I'd love to trade my car keys for a ride on MTA
Cause I find myself in traffic nearly 5 hours a day
Ain't no way to please the bookers when you're late for all your shows
Oh New York you've got to save my from LA

Living in the Village is the life I want someday
Take a stroll along MacDougal street and sit at a cafe
Without a million dollars I can't even spend a day
Oh New York I can't afford you anyway
New York, I can't afford you anyway, no, no
New York, I can't afford you anyway
