Lyrics

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 here in New York City

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 gone 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 here in New York City
