Capo 1
[Verse]
WelGl shes city nCights and broadway marquee signs
and Gim just one Cred light down past an old cafe
and Gher world spCins fast concrete, steel and glass
and Gmine moves mCore like molasses on a wednesday
so Amhow can we lovDe so good and live so differently
[Chorus]
she Glikes the viCew from the penthouse suite
she likes the sGound of those city streets
at 2am Dwhen i got sCatin pillows pulled over my head
and Gi like taCking the long way home
and getting losEmt down dusty backwood roads
well i cant Amblame her for not caring where they might lead
well mCaybe shDes too new york, or maybe im too tennessee
[Verse]
she Gmakes me Claugh martini in her hand
as Gshes tryinCg to imitate my southern draw
looGking too cCute in my old straw hat
but Gthat womaCns no cowgirl at all
somAmetimes it makeDs me wonder what she sees in me
[Chorus]
she Glikes the viCew from the penthouse suite
she likes the sGound of those city streets
at 2am Dwhen i got sCatin pillows pulled over my head
and Gi like taCking the long way home
and getting losEmt down dusty backwood roads
well i cant Amblame her for not caring where they might lead
well mCaybe shDes too new york, or maybe im too tennessee
[Bridge]
mayCbe i shold Gquestion why
and Cjust catcDh a red eye flight
[Chorus/Outro]
she Glikes the viCew from the penthouse suite
she likes the sGound of those city streets
at 2am Dwhen i got sCatin pillows pulled over my head
and Gi like taCking the long way home
and getting losEmt down dusty backwood roads
well i cant Amblame her for not caring where they might lead
well mCaybe shDes too new york, or maybe im too tennessee
