I'll say goodbye to all my sorrows

And by tomorrow, I'll be on my way

I guess the Lord must be in New York City

I'm so tired of gettin' nowhere

Seein' my prayers go unanswered

I guess the Lord must be in New York City

Well, here I am, Lord, knockin' at your backdoor

Ain't it wonderful to be,

Where I've always wanted to be

For the first time I'll be free here in New York City

Say goodbye, to all my sorrows

And by tomorrow, I'll be on my way

I guess the Lord must be in New York City

So tired of gettin' nowhere

Seein' my prayers go unanswered

I guess the Lord must be in New York City

Well, here I am, Lord, knockin' at your backdoor

Ain't it wonderful to be,

Where I've always wanted to be

For the first time I'll be free here in New York City

Onnn onnnnahhhh ahhh onnn

Onnn onnnnahhhh ahhh onnn
