************** TOO DUMB FOR NEW YORK CITY ***************
written by Waylon Jennings and Basil McDavid
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Verse 1:
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
Between the hustlers and the hookers
I must have made their day
Cause they peeled me like an apple,Lawd
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
New York ain t for me
Chorus:
From sea to shining sea
And coast to coast
Somewhere in the middle
Is the land i love the most
I ain t California pretty
I can t survive the Great White Way
I m too dumb for New York city
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
The way i walk-the way i talk
They ll hang on every word
But don t call me,i ll call you
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
There s never any doubt
Chorus.
I m too dumb for New York city
And too ugly for L.A.
