"New York City's Killing Me"

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
