Goodbye New York.
I got Texas in my blood
New York aint the place for me
Thought I'd settle in big apple
But it just wasn't meant to be,
I miss the wide open country
Ridin with the wind in my hair
Seein the moon in all it's glory
Fillin my lungs with Texas air.
chorus
Goodbye New York
I'm homeward bound
You aint done me wrong
But I aint stickin around,
Me and a comfy seat on wall street
Was never gonna work
I'm headin home to Texas
Goodbye New York.
Thought I'd get myself acclimated
To that office in the sky
But I learned there's somethings
A fat pay cheque just cant buy
I'd rather be nursin blisters
In the shade of a water tower
Than livin each day of my life
At a hundred miles an hour.
chorus
bridge
When the sun sets over Manhattan
And the neon start to shine
I'll be home on that cattle ranch
Near the borderline,
That silver bird is itchin to fly
I got my seat belt on
I'm headin home to Texas
That's where I belong.
