The Ozark Mountain Daredevils - New York lyrics

(GUITAR & DRUMS INTRO) Welcome to the city, welcome to disaster You see a pretty girl, but you're walkin' right past her You give it up, get it back, Turn around and ask her She don't talk back so you talk a little faster Winkin' in a snapshot, wavin' like a bigshot You're feelin' pretty good 'til you think you hear a gunshot Another punk outta junk, Breakin' in a pawn shop Cops yell freeze so you take another snapshot Ah ... it's New York Ah ... it's New York I guess everything my daddy told me was right When you're in the Big Apple Then you better learn to take a bite (HARP SOLO) I guess everything my daddy told me was right When you're in the Big Apple Then you better learn to take a bite Workin' in a hotel, workin for the housedick You stop a little girl who's pullin' in her own tricks Talk awhile, get a smile, Make another sidekick It won't last long but it beats feelin' homesick Jumpin' in a taxi, gotta see the band play It's on a little sidestreet, a little off of Broadway You make a turn, then you learn, You're goin' down the wrong way The cabby wants a tip 'cause he got you there the hard way Ah ... it's New York Ah ... it's New York Ah ... it's New York Ah ... it's New York (GUITAR STUFF) It's New York (GUITAR & HARP STUFF) It's New York (GUITAR & HARP STUFF)
