Craig Owens - Big Apple Big Heart lyrics

rate me

I'm about to get on a plane to new york city

I'm about to leave this town that's left me feeling so empty

Its just me and my guitar and my words

Yeah, together we can take on the world

Now I've been dreaming bout this since I was young

To get on that stage, I'll show them just where I'm from

And I'll show I'm only alright when I'm up there

I'm only real when I'm up there

As I pack my things I check both my empty pockets

And there's still nothing there

No, there's still nothing there

I turn to my left I see my mother crying

She says to me "why couldn't you have been a doctor or a lawyer?"

I say "come on, you know we've been through this before"

I turn and smile at her as I walked out her door

And I said I'm only alright when I'm up there

I'm only real when I'm up there
