Karaoké New York, New York Ryan Adams

Well I shuffled through the city on the Fourth of July

Had a firecracker waiting to blow

Breakin' like a robber who was making his way to the cities of Mexico

Lived in an apartment out on avenue A

I Had a tar hut on the corner of Tenth

Had myself a lover who was finer than gold

But I've been broken up and busted up since

Love don't play any games with me anymore like she did before

World won't wait so I better shake

That thing right out there through the door

Hell I still love you New York

Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds

Of my wallet and it stayed pretty good

Still amazed I didn't lose it on the roof of the place

When I was drunk and

I was thinking of you

Every day the children they were singing their tunes

Out on the streets and you could hear from inside

Used to take the subway up to Houston and Third

I would wait for you and I'd try to hide

Love won't play any games with you anymore if you don't want her to

World won't wait and I watched you shake

But honey I don't blame you hell I still love you New York

Hell I still love you New York

New York

I remember Christmas in the blistering cold

In a church on the Upper West Side

Babe I stood there singing

I was holding your arm

You were holding my trust like a child

Found a lot of trouble out on avenue B

But I tried to keep the overhead low

Farewell to the city and the love of my life at we left before we had to go

Love won't play any games with you anymore if you don't want her to

So we better shake this old thing out the door

I'll always be thinking of you

I'll always love you though New York

I'll always love you though New York

I'll always love you though New York

I'll always love you though New York

New York New York
