New York City's Killing Me Lyrics
there's just something about this hotel
got me wishin' i was dead
gotta get out of new york city, son
somewhere i can clear my head
i was just kickin' along the sidewalk
no one looks you in the eyes
no one asks you how you're doin'
don't seem to care if you live or if you die
just got to get me somewhere
somewhere that i can feel free
gotta get out of new york city, boy
new york city's killin' me
just outside of nashville
i met the woman of my dreams
sure would like to get to know her
maybe find out what it means
get so tired of all this concrete
i get so tired of all this noise
gotta get back up in the country
have a couple drinks with the good ol' boys
just got to get me somewhere
somewhere that i can feel free
get me out of new york city, son
new york city's killin' me
just got to get me somewhere
somewhere that i can feel free
get me out of new york city, son
new york city's killin' me
got me wishin' i was dead
gotta get out of new york city, son
somewhere i can clear my head
i was just kickin' along the sidewalk
no one looks you in the eyes
no one asks you how you're doin'
don't seem to care if you live or if you die
somewhere that i can feel free
gotta get out of new york city, boy
new york city's killin' me
i met the woman of my dreams
sure would like to get to know her
maybe find out what it means
get so tired of all this concrete
i get so tired of all this noise
gotta get back up in the country
have a couple drinks with the good ol' boys
somewhere that i can feel free
get me out of new york city, son
new york city's killin' me
somewhere that i can feel free
get me out of new york city, son
new york city's killin' me

Love this song! :) Ray has an amazing voice!
Finally. A song by someone involved in music that doesn't try and convince you that New York City is the greatest and coolest place in the world. I mean, it's not for everyone is it? It's nice to have a lovely, lovely song written from the other side.
this was the first song to grab me on the new album, perhaps the lyrics, perhaps the melody, perhaps a combination of everything. Yeah.
I totally agree. Jim Croce's "New York is not my home" is the only other one that I know of. Also a great song.
