New York Love Song

Cracked leather underneath me, barroom smell reminds me of you

I'm washing my sins away, and just like Jesus, oh-whoa, I'm born anew

Oh, while the sad man keeps on tellin' me all his lonely blues

How the man on the radio's telling lies, even when he tells the news

Well, I tried to listen, I tried to quit, but you know just what I'm gonna do

Oh, so Saint Anthony forgive me as I take a sip then take another two

Yesterday's problems are all but gone, while today's are all but new

I say I'm going home early, step out into the day

It don't matter what I do, and it don't matter what I say

I've a workin' class heart, but with a rich man's dirty ways

I put my smile on, honey, and I'm a-goin' out tonight

I'm gonna find me something funny or someone to hold me tight

I'll put on my red shoes, baby, stop playin' it so cool

I wanna make me some money, then oh, I'll spend it like a crazy fool

Woo, that's a New York love song

So leave caution to the wind, let that beautiful body decide

Oh, and by morning my face is marked and torn from all those thoughts I tried to hide

Oh, from something I fell into after all my love was used

By the early morning these four walls here were a-lookin' mighty bruised

In the city where you left me, left me nothing, nothing left to lose

So I put my smile on, honey, and I'm a-goin' out tonight

I'm gonna find me something funny or someone to hold me tight

I'll put on my red shoes, baby, stop playin' it so cool

I'm gonna make me some money, then oh, I'll spend it like a crazy fool

Woo, that's a New York love song

Well, I put my smile on, honey, and I'm a-goin' out tonight

I'm gonna find me something funny or someone to hold me tight

I'll put on my red shoes, baby, stop playin' it so cool

I'm gonna make me some money, then oh, I'll spend it like a crazy fool

Woo, that's a New York love song
