I'm sittin' in this New York City hotel room alone

Wishin' I was somewhere else or on my way back home

Nashville Tennessee I know that's where I do belong

Cause I don't know no New York City song



They know I'm from Dixie when I open up my mouth

They don't treat the ladies here the way they do down south

I thought I could make it here but I can't get along

Cause I don't know no New York City song

And Lord I'd like to tell you just how much I'd like to leave

Cause in my mind that south bound song is tuggin' on my sleeve

New York City ain't the place a country girl should be

New York City ain't the place for me

Today I walked a New York City avenue downtown

I've never seen so many people hurryin' around

And when I smile they look as if to say that smiling's wrong

No I don't know no New York City song

I'm sittin' in this New York City...

Cause I don't know no New York City song
