about

NYC is not always as idyllic as described in this song, but still a great place to live, if you ask me.

lyrics

While you’re busy shoveling driveways as part of your winter grind
I’m strolling into a warm subway station, and my train is right on time
I ease into a seat do some reading or maybe edit this here song
While you’re cursing at the frozen traffic wondering what went wrong

I got foods from a hundred countries walking distance from my flat
I’m staying here in New York City , and that’s that.

While you’re thinking about the lawn or the hot water heater needing repair
I’m planning my day reading the NY Times, without a care
Maybe a film, museum or play, or jazz at the vanguard, first set’s at nine
I wouldn’t trade this for anything, when this town feels like mine

I got the whole world that’s walking distance from my flat
I’m staying here in New York City, and that’s that
