Ballad Of NYC

(album: Livin' In The City - 2005)

Sand in my socks
Tears in my eyes
Blood on my hands
And smoke in the skies
My brothers are gone
But I'm numb to the pain
Can't pick up the phone
Now I'm dreaming again
Y'all can't relate
I'm all by myself
Where can I turn
When there's nobody else
I'm back in the world
And I'm living your lie
I smile at the girls
But I'm dying inside

Where do you begin?
New York City
The place that has become my friend
I've walked my pain over your streets once again
Yet you're always there for me

I'm on the westside
And I'm down by the river
My dog starts to bark
And the wind starts to whimper
There's not enough time
To leave it all behind
See all you love my voice in your mind
Drag the river for my soul
And dust my sugar from the fold
Although my sins are getting cold
Drag the river for my soul

Where do I begin?
New York City
The place that has become my friend
I've walked my pain over your streets once again
Yet you're always there for me
Drag the river for my soul
And dust my sugar from the fold
Although my sins are getting cold
Drag the river for my soul

Where do I begin?
New York City
The place that has become my friend
I've walked my pain over your streets once again
Yet you're always there for me
