Counting Crows
Goin’ Down to New York Town
Well I feel just like a freight train baby, runnin' out of steam
I wanna go on down to New York town, but I'm stuck in between
And I could stay on here at home alone and have myself to thank
But just made a billion dollars and I don't wanna put it in the bank
So if you'd call (call, call,) we could go to town
Dear mom if you could see me now, here underneath the lights
Well they keep 'em on from dusk 'til dawn and everything's alright
I met a girl with autumn in her eyes and summer in the way
She makes me feel like I was only born today or yesterday
And if she'd call (call, call,) we could go to town
But everybody here hates everything I say
And girl I just don't know if I can last another day
So I guess I'm goin' back, back where I belong
I hope you come along before I get back on that train that takes me
Home from New York City to the things I left behind
And though ain't got no money girl, I'll always have the time
But I wish that you would hurry, I hope you get here soon
'Cause I just sold the sky the sun, so I could buy for you the moon
And if you call (call, call,) we could go to town
Oh if you call, (call, call,)
Yeah if you call, (call, call,)
Girl if you call, (call, call,)
We could go to town
