    I said, hey little girl
    Take me by the hand
    Walk with me down this boardwalk
    One last time again
    
       
    We're gonna see those pretty pier lights
                          
    Hear those carnival sounds
                
    Well we'll stop right at the top tonight
                                
    As this ferris wheel goes round

     
    Now you say that I'm wrestless
    You don't understand
    Tomorrow I'll be leavin' on that mornin' train
                
    I'm gonna leave this candy apple town behind
                                
    And get out while I still can  
                               
    I'm goin to New York City
                           
    With this guitar in my hand


                                   
    And I've been wishin' on these stars too long
                                   
    And I've been playing in these bars too long
                         
    I've been hold up in your arms too long
                               
    I've been a prisoner of my heart too long


                           
    I'm goin to New York City
                           
    To find out where I stand
                  
    And I'll be walking down Broadway
                          
    With this guitar in my hand

    Now I sing for these tourists
    Bout' a dream life on the water
    But when that dream gets broken
    This life gets harder and harder
   
         
    I gotta leave this candy apple town behind
                                  
    And get out while I still can
                              
    I'm goin' to New York City
                           
    With this guitar in my hand

  
                                   
    And I've been wishin' on these stars too long
                                   
    And I've been playing in these bars too long
                         
    I've been hold up in your arms too long
                               
    I've been a prisoner of my heart too long


                          
    I'm goin to New York City
                           
    To find out where I stand
                                    
    And I'll be walking down Broadway
                          
    With this guitar in my hand
    
                                     
    And I'll be walking down Broadway
                          
    With this guitar in my hand
