New York Blues

New York they say, it's a crazy town
Meet some people baby, get your name around
You can be what you want to be
The toast of Broadway, king of comedy

Chorus:
But I don't know, I feel so all alone
How long does it take till this place feels like home
People stop and stare and me
I guess I look confused
I got those New Girl in New York Blues

Well I've made some friends, but they're not my kind
Once they get happening, they leave you behind
One day you're cold, the next day you're hot,
Yeah, if you've got what it takes, it's gonna take all you've got

But I don't know, I feel so all alone
How long does it take till this place feels like home
I guess this is what they talk about
When they talk about paying dues
I got those New Girl in New York Blues

Well I drove into the city, parked my car in the road
Woke up the next day, guess what, it got towed
Whoa

Noontime in midtown, man it's a crazy scene
Everybody's in a hurry, and they all look so mean
I ride home on the subway, people push and they shove
Where can a poor girl find a little love

But I don't know, I feel so all alone
How long does it take till this place feels like home
I guess this is what they talk about when they say you're paying dues
I got those New Girl in New York -
trying to make an honest living - in
New York City Blues
