lyrics

I think I'm finally gonna leave New York City
Go someplace where nobody is pretty
Go someplace where I can get some sleep
Someplace where I ain't livin like I'm six feet deep
Now this ain't the first time that I've had this plan
But no matter where I go I end up in New York City again

There must be a reason why we all stay
It's a godless city but everybody prays
Prays for the day when they can finally say
I made it in New York City and I did it my way
You know I take it back there is a god
He's here inside my pocket
In a big fat wad

I think I'm finally gonna leave New York City
Go someplace where nobody is pretty
Go someplace where I can get some sleep
Someplace where I ain't livin like I'm six feet deep
Now this ain't the first time that I've had this plan
But no matter where I go I end up in New York City again

The speed, the pace, the walk of the flock
The greed, the race, the shock of the talk
A place of vast opportunity
Where you can be whatever it is you'll be
Least you believe that when you first arrive
When you have that strive to thrive and aren't afraid yet of being alive

I think I'm finally gonna leave New York City
Go someplace where nobody is pretty
Go someplace where I can get some sleep
Someplace where I ain't livin like I'm six feet deep
Now this ain't the first time that I've had this plan
But no matter where I go I end up in New York City again

Now this just might be my sense of pride
But not everyone can come here and survive
Not everyone can do what we do
I might be a dove on the outside but I'm a bear through and through

I think I'm finally gonna leave New York City
Go someplace where nobody is pretty
Go someplace where I can get some sleep
Someplace where I ain't livin like I'm six feet deep
Now this ain't the first time that I've had this plan
But no matter where I go I end up in New York City again
