I said hey little girl   Take me by the hand   Walk me down this boardwalk    One last time again      Gonna see those pretty beaded lights   Hear those carnival sounds   And we're stopping at the top tonight   When the ferris wheal goes round      You say that I've been restless   You don't understand   Tomorrow I'll be leaving on that morning train   Gonna leave this candy apple town behind   Gonna get out while I still can      Going 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 held up in your arms too long   Been a prisoner of my heart too long      Going to New York City   Gonna find out where I stand   Then I'll be walking down broadway   With this guitar in my hand      When I sing for these tourists   But I dream life on the water   With every dream that gets broken   This life gets harder and harder      Leave this candy apple town behind   Gonna get out while I still can   Going 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 held up in your arms too long   Been a prisoner of my heart too long      Going to New York City   Gonna find out where I stand   Then I'll be walking down broadway   With this guitar in my hand
