[Intro]
G
[Verse]
Sometimes when I'm driving Dlate in the night
When there's that Emspecial kind of Cearly morning light
When the Gevergreen stands Dout in the dark
I'm Emthinking about that northern Cstate of New York, New GYork
[Chorus]
DNew York State was Ggood to me
'Cause I Cfound a wife and made a Gfamily
If Danyone asks what it Emmeans to me
Well, it's the Cnearest to home GI'll ever be, in New York
GNew York
[Verse]
Well, New York city's just a Dpart of the state
Some Empeople hate it, I think it's Cgreat
It's an Ghonest city, won't Dtell you a lie
It'll Emtake your money and look you Cstraight in the eye, New GYork
[Verse]
When the city got too Dmuch to take
When the Empressure built up and we Cthought we'd break
When Geveryone else was Dheaded south
We Emwent our own way, we Cheaded north of New GYork
[Chorus]
DNew York State was Ggood to me
'Cause I Cfound a wife and made a Gfamily
If Danyone asks what it Emmeans to me
Well, it's the Cnearest to home GI'll ever be, in New York
GNew York
[Verse]
I wish I could take that Dtrip again
EmFive hundred miles up to CLake Champlain
GFishing for supper in a Dhomemade boat
The Emlove we made and the Csongs I wrote of New GYork
[Verse]
And we rented a house on the DLong Island sand
Where Emwork in the city was Cclose at hand
In the Gsummer we swam in DMontauk Bay
And EmEngland felt so Cfar away from New GYork
[Chorus]
DNew York State was Ggood to me
'Cause I Cfound a wife and made a Gfamily
If Danyone asks what it Emmeans to me
Well, it's the Cnearest to home GI'll ever be, in New York
GNew York
[Verse]
And it may sound Dstrange that an Englishman
Should Emlose his heart to a Cforeign land
GMaybe it's because I've Dbeen away
Too Emlong from her, it's Chard to say, New GYork
[Chorus]
DNew York State was Ggood to me
'Cause I Cfound a wife and made a Gfamily
If Danyone asks what it Emmeans to me
Well, it's the Cnearest to home GI'll ever be, in New York
GNew York
GNew York
