I was born I was born to sing for you I didn’t have a choice but to lift you up And sing whatever song you wanted me to I give you back my voice From the womb my first cry, it was a joyful noise Only love, only love can leave such a mark But only love, only love can heal such a scar ---

I’m tired of layin’ back, hangin’ around, I’m gonna catch that train, then I’ll be city bound. I ain’t no country boy, I’m just a homesick man. I’m gonna hit the grit just as fast as I can. I’ll get off on Main Street, step into the crowd, Sidewalk under my feet, traffic’s good and loud. When I see my inner city child, I’ll be walkin’ on a cloud. Cause I’m a fool for the city! I’m a fool for the city! ---

Many years since I was here, on the street I was passing my time away To the left and to the right, buildings towering to the sky It’s outta sight in the dead of night. Here I am, again in this city, with a fistful of dollars And baby, you’d better believe I’m back! Back in the New York groove! ---

Remember New York Staring outside As reckless winter made its way From Staton Island to the Upper West Side Whiting out our streets along the way And the snow is coming down On our New England town And it’s been falling all day long What else is new What can I do But sing this valley winter song I wrote for you ---
