I work full-time runnin’ errands for foolsin my old pick-up truck
I been down in the dirt and I can’t stand it and I can’t blame it on luck
You know new york’ll chew you up bad and seasonal affectiveness making me Sad
but, the best day that I ever had, is when my ma met my dad on a sunny day in new york. lord on a sunny day in that big rotten apple, and they just won’t give you the time.

So don’t you wait up for me baby, because I come up real slow
you know, this city’s built on bricks and stones and not rock & roll
and the tarot card of death fell off my guitar, but I picked right up took it back to the bar
because at the end of the day I know you baby are a real shooting star,

I want you asap baby back in my life
if I could have an RSVP that would be quite nice
Bring your own heart and maybe some whiskey too
love you so damned much that I act like a fool

Baby please please baby, let me back in your heart
whispering sweet nothings might be a real good start
I love you and without you i have been torn apart
baby don’t blame me because I’m just not too smart.

So don’t you wait up for me baby, because I come up real slow
you know, this city’s built on bricks and stones and not rock & roll
and the tarot card of death fell off my guitar, but I picked right up took it back to the bar
because at the end of the day I know you baby are a real shooting star,

The way I heart you babe is a crying shame
I don’t play love like I’m playing a game
A rose might be a rose by any other name
and it’s too true of you as you are the same.

I’m doin purdy good, just about okay
C’est la vie, I suppose that’s what they say
I walked off the souls of my boots, but I’ve still got my feet
and I’m just a’waitin here for you to drop the beat, drop it baby

So don’t you wait up for me baby, because I come up real slow
you know, this city’s built on bricks and stones and not rock & roll
and the tarot card of death fell off my guitar, but I picked right up took it back to the bar
because at the end of the day you are a real shooting star,
