Lyrics for "New York City's Killing Me"

There's just something about this hotel
Got me wishing I was dead.
Gotta get out of New York station
Somewhere I can clear my head.

I was just kicking along the sidewalk
No one looks you in the eyes
No one asks how you're doing
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 killing me.

Just outside of Nashville
I met one 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 guess I'm tired of all this noise
Got to 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 station
New York City's killing me.

Just got to get me somewhere
Somewhere that I can feel free
Get me out of New York station
New York City's killing me.

Gotta get out of New York station
New York City's killing me.
