I Was in New York

I was in New York

Brooklyn, New York overnight

Drove down the interstate, in a state

There were no cheap flights

And I don’t like heights

You know that or you might not

I like things that take their time

Take your time

On the J - Z lines

People are rushing and honking

Some people like watching

Some people like talking

I was at the MOMA

Just having a moment

Alone with Van Gogh

No tourists, no photos

It was just me and the strokes

If I had a sharpie, just something to mark it

I could be a terrorist, a vandal, an artist

It's all so fragile

New York, I love you but..

I was in Toronto

Early in the morning

Sun in eyes

Ain’t no songs about its streets

No CBGB’s or deli meats

No famous slice

But that’s kinda nice

You know that or you might not

If I had the money

Or someone who loved me

A dream I could sell

To the wolves up on wall street

A gig with a gaggle of girls at the Bowery

The city, the lights

I was made for this country!

Or maybe I’ll stay

Maybe I’ll stay

Maybe I’ll stay

New York, maybe but not now..
