New York’s Not My Home
Lyrics/Music: Jim Croce
Well things were spinnin’ round me
And all my thoughts were cloudy
And I had begun to doubt
All the things that were me
Been in so many places
You know I’ve run so many races
And looked into the empty faces
___of the people of the night
And something is just not right
And I know that I gotta get out of here
I’m so alone
Don’t you know that I gotta get out of here
‘Cause New York’s not my home
Though all the streets are crowded
There’s something strange about it
I lived there ’bout a year
And I never once felt at home
I thought I’d make the big time
I learned a lot of lessons awful quick
And now I’m tellin’ you
That they were not the nice kind
And it’s been so long since I have felt fine
That’s the reason that I gotta get out of here
I’m so alone
Don’t you know that I gotta get out of here
‘Cause New York’s not my home
(repeat)
