Goodnight, Texas - New York lyrics

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 triеd that here they'd push mе 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 me from la Living in the village is the life i want someday Take a stroll along macdougal street and sit at a cafe But 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
