Ginger - Mother City lyrics

Well, I recognized every street that I'd seen in the movies I spent 24 hours on my feet, just walking around And my heart never beat so fast in all the years I'd been waiting Because heaven only knows, I never felt so close I was 6 years old when I saw Spiderman Crouched down on a garbage can New York City, she's my rock n roll And she won't take back a cent I owe A mom and dad to this restless soul You made me second to none New York, the mother, adopts another wandering son I was the only kid in school to find his own education The kind The Dolls, Ramones and Kiss laid down So I'll wipe that tear and watch the dust start clearing on West St. Because heaven only know, I never felt so close I was 9 years old when they shot James Caan Over by the toll-booth stand New York City, she's my rock n roll And she won't take back a cent I owe A mom and dad to this restless soul You made me second to none New York, the mother, adopts another wandering son Darling, you mean more to me that I thought you'd be Hey darling, you're the guts I need to turn off TV 36 years old when they tried to beat you down Who do they think that they're messing around? New York City, she's my rock n roll And she won't take back a cent I owe A mom and dad to this restless soul You made me second to none New York, the mother, adopts another wandering son
