Too Dumb For New York — текст песни (Waylon Jennings)

Verse 1:
D
When i first saw New York city

I was green down to the core

You could see my red neck glowing

For a mile or maybe more
A
Between the hustlers and the hookers

I must have made their day

Cause they peeled me like an apple,Lawd
D
And sent me on my way


Bridge 1:

When you`re pushed and shoved and almost mugged

It ain`t no place to be

So i came to one conclusion
A
New York ain`t for me


Chorus:
D
From sea to shining sea

And coast to coast

Somewhere in the middle

Is the land i love the most
A
I ain`t California pretty

I can`t survive the Great White Way

I`m too dumb for New York city
D
And too ugly for L.A.


Verse 2:

I made my way to Tinseltown

To Hollywood and Vine

Out among those pretty faces

I`d surely find a place for mine
A
The way i walk-the way i talk

They`ll hang on every word

But don`t call me,i`ll call you
D
Was all i ever heard


Bridge 2:

In L.A. what they`re thinking

Ain`t what they talk about

At least in New York city
A
There`s never any doubt


Chorus.

A
I`m too dumb for New York city
D
And too ugly for L.A.
