I Am New York

I am New York Went for a drive Just a regular day Though I saw love Going down a highway Follow it down But it reaches out of state Now I want to go home Cause it’s getting late I am New York Its home to me The empire state building And the statue of liberty I am New York It’s where I belong Like frank Sinatra says In his famous song So far away Ran out of gas Forget my wallet home Pull over on the grass Diner across the street Wash dishes for a day Fill my tank up And I am on my way I am New York From Brooklyn to queens South beach board walks And Hagen daz ice cream I am New York From Bronx to long island The Verrazano Grand central station Will be home soon Can’t wait to be there To stand on the ferry And feel the wind thru my hair Through china town Straight up on Broadway They block some parts of Un meetings to day It’s a different life In a New York minute And millions of tourist Every year comes to visit I am New York
