Waylon Jennings - NEW YORK CITY R.F.D. lyrics

From Herte Mississippi to Tupelo then I caught an eastbound freight

With sky high hopes opened out scopes and hurt all over my face

New York City is a bad place to be when you're out of your head

Country style running wild country style

The new wears off and time wears off and my roots are showin' through

But nobody cares about from where you came but what they can get out of you

And New York City is a bad place to be...

What would mom and daddy say if they saw me this a way

Would they pray for me yes they would

But nobody's heard about rainy day women in that Herte Mississippi neighborhood

And New York City is a bad place to be...

New York City is a bad place to be...
