Say, hey little girl take me by the hand Walk with me down this boardwalk one last time again We see those pretty pier lights, hear those carnival sounds We stop right at the top tonight, when the ferris wheel goes 'round
You say that I've been restless, you don't understand Tomorrow I'll be leaving on the morning train Gonna leave this candy apple town behind Get out while I still can Goin' to New York city, with this guitar in my hand Been wishing on these stars to long, been playing in these bars to long Been hold up in your arms to long, been a prisoner of my heart to long Goin' to New York city, gonna find out where I stand And I'll be walking down broadway, with this guitar in my hand ♪ Instrumental Break ♪ Well I sing for these tourists, about a dream life on the water Dream it gets broken, this life gets harder and harder Gotta leave this candy apple town behind To get out while I still can Goin' to New York city, with this guitar in my hand Been wishing on these stars to long, been playing in these bars to long Been hold up in your arms to long, been a prisoner of my heart to long Goin' to New York city, gonna find out where I stand And I'll be walking down the broadway, with this guitar in my hand
