Hey little girl take me by the hand

Walk me down this boardwalk

Once last time again

See those pretty pier lights

Hear those carnival sounds

Stop right at the top again

When the ferris wheel goes round



Well you say that I’ve been restless

And you don’t understand

Tomorrow I’ll be leavin’ on that

Morning train

I gotta leave this candy apple town behind

I gotta get out while I still can

I’m going to New York City

With this guitar in my hand



I’ve been wishin on these stars too long

Playin’ in these bars too long

I’ve been hold up in your arms too long

I’ve been a prisoner of my heart too long



I’m goin’ to New York City

Gotta find out where I stand

And I’ll be walking down broadway

With this guitar in my hand



Well I sing for these tourists

‘bout a dream life on the water

but when the dream it gets broken

this life gets harder and harder

I gotta leave this candy apple town behind

I gotta get out while I still can

I’m going to New York City

With this guitar in my hand



I’ve been wishin on these stars too long

I’ve been playin’ in these bars too long

I’ve been hold up in your arms too long

I’ve been a prisoner of my heart too long



I’m goin’ to New York City

Gotta find out where I stand

And I’ll be walking down broadway

With this guitar in my hand
