I say, hey little girl take me by the hand
Walk with me down this boardwalk one last time again
We see those pretty pier lights, hear those carnival sounds
We stop right at the top tonight, the ferris wheel goes around
You say that I've been restless, you don't understand
Tomorrow I'll be leavin' on the morning train
Could leave this candyapple town behind
To get out while I still can
Go to New York city, with this guitar in my hand
been wishing on these stars too long, been playing in these bars too long
been holed up in your arms too long, been a prisoner of my heart too long
Go to New York city, to find out where I stand
And I'll be walking down the broadway, with this guitar in my hand
I sing for these tourists, by the dream life on the water
The dream make it's broken, this life gets harder and harder
Could leave this candyapple town behind
To get out while I still can
Go to New York city, with this guitar in my hand
been wishing on these stars too long, been playing in these bars too long
been holed up in your arms too long, been a prisoner of my heart too long
Go to New York city, to find out where I stand
And I'll be walking down the broadway, with this guitar in my hand
