[Verse]
Bb F C F He was standing on the highway, somewhere way out in the sticks Bb F C Guitar across his shoulder like a 30.06 Bb F C F He was staring in my headlights, when I come around the bend Bb F C Climbed up on my shotgun side and told me with a grin
[Chorus]
Bb F C F I’m goin’ to New York City Bb F C I’ve never really been there, just like the way it sounds Bb F C F I heard the girls are pretty Bb F C There must be something happening there, it’s just too big a town
[Verse]
Bb F C F He was cold and wet and hungry, but he never did complain Bb F C Said he’d come a thousand miles through sleet and snow and rain Bb F C F He had a hundred stories about, the places that he’d been Bb F C He’d hang around a little while and hit the road again
[Chorus]
Bb F C F I’m goin’ to New York City Bb F C I’ve never really been there, just like the way it sounds Bb F C F I heard the girls are pretty Bb F C There must be something happening there, it’s just too big a town
[Verse]
Bb F C F See, I’ve been to New York City, seems like it was yesterday Bb F C I was standing like a pilgrim on the great white way Bb F C F The girls were really pretty, but they wouldn’t talk to me Bb F C I held out about a week, went back to Tennessee
[Verse]
Bb F C F So, I thought I better warn him, as he climbed out of my car Bb F C Grabbed his battered suitcase and shouldered his guitar Bb F C F I knew I was just jealous, if I didn’t wish him well Bb F C I slipped the kid a twenty, said, Billy give'm hell
[Chorus]
Bb F C F I’m goin’ to New York City Bb F C I’ve never really been there, just like the way it sounds Bb F C F I heard the girls are pretty Bb F C There must be something happening there, it’s just too big a town
[Chorus again]
Bb F C F I’m goin’ to New York City Bb F C I’ve never really been there, just like the way it sounds Bb F C F I heard the girls are pretty Bb F C There must be something happening there, it’s just too big a town
