Lyrics:

He was standing on the highway
Somewhere way out in the sticks
Guitar across his shoulder

Like a 30 ought six
He was staring in my headlights
When I come around the bend

Climbed up on my shotgun side
And told me with a grin

Chorus:
I'm going to
New York City
I never really been there
Just like the way it sounds
I heard the girls
are pretty
There must be something happening there
It's just 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

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'd 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 give 'em hell'

Chorus x 2
