|
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. |
