lyrics
NYC
Oh can you say those
City lights a shining
Most the time I wish that I could too
But I can’t complain since
I been life refining
From Chapel Hill to Nashville
Where I met you
CHORUS:
But still every now and then
I just hear that city calling so
Please don’t make me choose
Oh cause half my heart’s trapped in
New York City
But the rest of it
I’m holding out for you
I know you don’t need no
Don’t need no money, gold, or diamonds
Ever poor and happy we could be
I’d bring you coffee at midnight
I’ll bring you wine when we’re dining
And if you say the word
I could be down on one knee
CHORUS
Sometimes at night
I hear the subway roar
But you turn on light
And I don’t miss it anymore
Cause you’re at my door
CHORUS
Oh can you say those
City lights a shining
Most the time I wish that I could too
But I can’t complain since
I been life refining
From Chapel Hill to Nashville
Where I met you
CHORUS:
But still every now and then
I just hear that city calling so
Please don’t make me choose
Oh cause half my heart’s trapped in
New York City
But the rest of it
I’m holding out for you
I know you don’t need no
Don’t need no money, gold, or diamonds
Ever poor and happy we could be
I’d bring you coffee at midnight
I’ll bring you wine when we’re dining
And if you say the word
I could be down on one knee
CHORUS
Sometimes at night
I hear the subway roar
But you turn on light
And I don’t miss it anymore
Cause you’re at my door
CHORUS

Michael Shoup recommends:
-
Kenny and I grew up as writers and musical brothers together. I couldn't feel more proud of what he's put out on his new release, and you owe it to your ears to get this in them.

All my friends have a CD... I want one too.
by Vince RomanelliVince has a ridiculous talent as a producer. Check out his record or any of the ones he's tracked and you'll know exactly what I mean.

Defying Gravity [Side A]
by PhilosKenny, Vince, and I formed this band out of our love for things rock & roll... and I'm pretty sure we're the only rock band that's ever covered "Defying Gravity" from the musical "Wicked."
