Took myself outta New York City    But New York won't leave me alone    I found everything I needed there    In a Deli right down the street    It's always in my blood    The last place I felt at home    Chewing up the great Big Apple    You learn to love the smell of the streets       THERE'S ROCK 'N' ROLL IN NEW YORK CITY    AND LOTS OF THINGS TO GET ON DOWN    LIFE CAN GET HARD IN NEW YORK CITY    BUT I'LL BE BACK TO ROCK THAT TOWN    JUST STICK AROUND       Either I had nails for breakfast    Or the day just wasn't right    Face to face with sheer brutality    Concrete cold reality    Part of me just couldn't stay    Part of me just can't break away    Survivin' New York City    Is an impressive fact indeed       THERE'S ROCK 'N' ROLL IN NEW YORK CITY    AND LOTS OF THINGS TO GET ON DOWN    LIFE CAN GET HARD IN NEW YORK CITY    BUT I'LL BE BACK TO ROCK THAT TOWN    JUST STICK AROUND
