Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I'm in New York City, I never sleep a wink
When I'm in New York City, I never get to sleep a wink
But when I cross that river, all I wanna do is drink
[Verse 2]
Well, I have been to Chicago, they said it was the promised land, that's what they said
You know, I've been to Chicago, they said it was the promised land
When I arrived as a child, they promised that I'd leave a man
[Verse 3]
Well, Phoenix, Arizona or Memphis Tennessee
Southern California, Washington D.C.
I gotta go, a whole world to see, oh yeah
So, pack your bags up, baby, come along and ride with me, ah come on
[Verse 4]
I'm gonna get to Kansas City and make my way to 12th and Vine
I'm gonna get to Kansas City and make my way to 12th and Vine, yes I am
Where all the girls are pretty, but I already made one mine
[Verse 5]
Well, Amarillo, Texas is just around the bend
Off to Albuquerque on the road that never ends
I gotta go, a whole world to see
So, pack your bags up, baby, come along and ride with me, come on J.D.
[Verse 6]
Well, a night down in the quarter that ended in a fight
Someone got their ass kicked, no matter who was right
I gotta go, a whole world to see
So, pack your bags up, baby, come along and ride with me, I'ma tell you again
So, pack your bags up, baby, come along and ride with me, ah
So, pack your bags up, baby, come along and ride with me, oh yeah
Oh yeah, alright, uh-huh, oh yeah
Oh yeah, alright, uh-huh, oh yeah
Oh yeah, alright, uh-huh, oh yeah
Oh yeah, alright, uh-huh, oh yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh yeah, alright, uh-huh, ooh yeah
Alright, oh yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh
Oh yeah, alright
