lyrics

Drinking in a bar on 10th Street
you told me your Big Apple dreams
going down to where the lights are always bright
ain’t as hard as it might seem

We’ll leave our cars in someone’s driveway
we won’t need them when we go
say goodbye to this old one-horse town
wake up where it’s never slow

Let’s move down to New York City
you can cut and paste your way
I’ll do whatever I’ve been doing
What do you say?

We won’t talk about the weather
or how the leaves are turning blue
We’ll speak our minds to perfect strangers
or disappear like lovers do

Let the city take you in its arms
hail a taxi when the rapture starts
watch the sun take off its heavy crown
lift our heads up when the night falls down

Let’s move down to New York City
take a train into its heart
join the dreamers and the cynics
find a place where we can start
