| I'm goin' back to new york city | |
| Times square sure will be shinin' bright | |
| I know it sure looks pretty | |
| But i don't go down every night. | |
| I'm gonna take in memphis | |
| You know the one down in tennessee | |
| And if you wanna boogie | |
| Now that's the place to be. | |
| Sittin' in a bar in macon | |
| Drinkin' something called rebel yells | |
| When i thought i heard someone ringing | |
| I guess she's a southern bell. | |
| We just cut out of el paso | |
| It just fries there in that desert sun | |
| And if you've ever been down there man | |
| Then you know why we run. | |
| I got jet lag | |
| And livin' out an overnight bag | |
| Time changes every day | |
| They do things a different way | |
| Back in the u.s.a. | |
| Tryin' hard to make a phone call | |
| 'long distance over seas' | |
| 'yes ma'am i did say scotland' | |
| 'could you spell that again for me please' | |
| You know that it just blew my mind | |
| I'd love to go back there next trip | |
| I sure hope we get some time. | |
| Driving down a detroit freeway | |
| Just lookin' at those concrete walls | |
| Hey but it's a good town to rock'n'roll in | |
| 'what do you mean the police closed the god damned hall?' | |
| Flyin' home tomorrow | |
| To be there's gonna be just great | |
| And after some time with my lady | |
| I'm gonna be back to rock'n'roll in the states. |
