NYC Lyrics by Jason Falkner

I’m OK, You’re OK

0

All right!
I've been hit with eternity
With an extended family
Pushing on, underneath the golden sun
Even I have been feeling low
With an eye on the afterglow
Holding out for something that may never come, oh
Thinking about the early days, everything was new
I was down in the village where
I made a friend or two
Had enough of the west coast now
You know I've paid some dues
I'm heading out for the east coast now
I got nothing to lose
That's right!
When she turned down the avenue
Couldn't miss her if you wanted to
Check out the boys, falling down around her feet
Oh, she got eyes that fascinate
Representin' the lower Haight
And now she's here, back in the NYC
Oh, thinking about the early days
Everything was new
I was lost in the village where
I made a friend or two
I've had enough of the west coast now
You know I've paid some dues
Been heading out for the east coast now
I've got nothing to lose
The ever-ran race
On everybody's face
There's nothing like this place
Except maybe outer space
Oh!
Had enough of the west coast now
I gotta get to the east somehow
Had enough of the west coast now
You know I paid some dues, yeah
Still dream of the east coast now
I got nothing, I got nothing
Had enough of the west coast now
You know I paid some dues
Headed out for the east coast now I've got nothing to lose
I've got nothing to lose
