Ripped out of a good dream and into the day 

By the fuzz from the radio buzzing away

Another drag dragon with demands on my time

So it's get in the car and down the mainline



I'm bound to fail

But remember we've heard this before

You've got that nailed

But today I'm just bound for New York



She wasn't as handsome as Paris in France

Or majestic Vienna on New Years, all romance

She looked more like Dublin on St. Patrick's Day

It was more black then green, just to make it risqué



And it was bound to fail

But remember you've said this before

You've got that nailed

But today I'm just bound for New York



The whole thing burned out just as quick as it came

When I finally returned to my bed that same day

And the truth is that I never even got her name

But the charm's in the falling in love on a train



And I didn't fail

Cause I've heard all your lines before

So you can exhale

Cause today I'm just bound for New York
