He was Bbstanding on the Fhighway, somewhere Cway out in the Fsticks
GuiBbtar across his Fshoulder like a C30.06
He wBbas staring in my Fheadlights, when I coCme around the Fbend
Climbed up Bbon my shotguFn side and told Cme with a grin
BbI?m goin? to NeFw York City C F
I?ve nBbever really been therFe, just like the Cway it sounds
BbI heaFrd the girls are preCtty F
There must be soBbmething happeFning there, it?s Cjust too big a town
He was cold and wet and hungry, but he never did complain
Said he?d come a thousand miles through sleet and snow and rain
He had a hundred stories about, the places that he?d been
He?d hang around a little while and hit the road again
Repeat Chorus
See, I?ve been to New York City, seems like it was yesterday
I was standing like a pilgrim on the great white way
The girls were really pretty, but they wouldn?t talk to me
I held out about a week, went back to Tennessee
So, I thought I better warn him, as he climbed out of my car
Grabbed his battered suitcase and shouldered his guitar
I knew I was just jealous, if I didn?t wish him well
I slipped the kid a twenty, said, Billy ?em hell
Repeat Chorus Twice
