COUNTING CROWS - Goin' down to new york town. lyrics

rate me

Well I feel just like a freight train baby,

running out of steam.

I wanna go on down to New York town,

but I'm stuck in between.

And I could stay on here at home alone

and have myself to thank,

But I just made a billion dollars

and I wanna put it in the bank,

So if you call...

we could go to town.

Well dear mom,

if you could see me now here underneath the lights

I gotta keep 'em on from dusk to dawn

and everything's alright.

I met a girl with autumn in her eyes

and summer in the way

She makes me feel

like I was only born today or yesterday,

And if she calls...

we could go to town.

But everybody here

hates everything I say,

and girl I just don't know

if I can last another day.

So I guess I'm going back,

back where I belong,

I hope you come along

before I get back on that train that takes me...

home from New York City

to the things I left behind

And 'though I ain't got no money girl

, I'll always have the time.

But I wish that you would hurry,

I hope you get here soon

'cause I just sold the sky to the sun

so I could buy for you the moon.

And if you call...

we could go to town. So if you call...

yeah, if you call...

girl, if you call...

we could go to town.
