Lyrics

I Guess The Lord Must Be In New York City I say goodbye to all my sorrows And by tomorrow I'll be on my way I guess the lord must be in New York City I'm so tired of getting nowhere Seein' my prayers going unanswered I guess the lord must be in New York City Well here I am Lord Knocking on your back door Ain't it wonderful to be Where I've always wanted to be For the first time I'll be free In New York City I say goodbye to all my sorrows And by tomorrow I'll be on my way I guess the lord must be in New York City I'm so tired of getting nowhere Seein' my prayers going unanswered I guess the lord must be in New York City Well here I am Lord Knocking on your back door Ain't it wonderful to be Where I've always wanted to be For the first time I'll be free In New York City
