I say, hey little girl take me by the hand
Walk 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 that morning train
Could leave this candy apple town behind
To get out while I still can
Goin' to New York city, with this guitar in my hand
Wishin on these stars too long, been playin in these
bars too long
Holed up in your arms too long, the prisoner of my
heart too long
Go to New York city, to find out where I stand
And I'll be walking down broadway, with this guitar in
my hand
I sing for these tourists, but I dream life on the
water
The dream make it's broken, this life's gets harder and
harder
Could leave this candy apple town behind
To get out while I still can
Go to New York city, with this guitar in my hand
Wishin on these stars too long, been playin in these
bars too long
Holed up in your arms too long, the prisoner of my
heart too long
Go to New York city, to find out where I stand
And I'll be walking down broadway, with this guitar in
my hand
