new york city blues - terry cashman lyrics

[verse 1]
life and death in an alley way
just a heartbeat away from the man
who’s learned to turn his head away
from the pain that can drain the land
harlem’s not too far from here
you can smell the heartache
feel the fear
i hear they’re gonna build a skyscr*per there
as if we didn’t need the extra air

[chorus]
new york city blues
in order to win you gotta lose
old before your time
the dirt and the grime
gets into everything
and thе papers they love to say
it’s thе meanest town in the usa
but i think it’s ok
don’t you love your home

[verse 2]
on the other side of park avenue
respectable people don’t know
but hungry eyes take in the view
of the world that has laid them so low
too many years on a welfare line
and it’s the same song and dance time after time
you can only get so pushed around
until you want to tear the d*mn thing down
[chorus]
new york city blues
in order to win you gotta lose
old before your time
the dirt and the grime
gets into everything
and the papers they love to say
that it’s the meanest town in the usa

[instrumental break]

[outro]
yes the papers they love to say
that it’s the meanest town
new york city blues
in order to win you gotta lose
you’re old before your time
now the dirt and the grime it gets into everything
and the papers and tv say
that we’re the meanest town
still i think it’s okay
oh i love my home
