about

This is a song about the time that I went off to New York and lost Carrie. I returned to the prairies in an effort to win her back. I eventually did and now we make music and babies together.

lyrics

Headed out East, said I'd take care of someone
But once I got there I only thought of myself
In New York.
So much to see and stories to make
There's a used book store
for every single damn day of my life
In New York

It's not your fault, New York

I read Pursuit of God at Ground Zero
It's hard to rebuild, so easy to destroy
In New York
How would I know what I could lose
by a wrong stop walking down Lexington Avenue?
In New York

It's not your fault, New York

In the Bowery Station
The bum was singing
Like A Rolling Stone
I was poor myself
but I gave that beggar
All that I owned
because he was right

I let the right girl get away
I let the right girl slip away
Ohh New York.
