New York's Not My Home

Jim Croce
seq by Joe Simon - kar by Mike M

Things were spinning 'round me
and all my thoughts were cloudy
and I had begun to doubt all the things that were me
Being in so many places
You know I've run so many races
I've looked into the empty faces
of the people of the night

Something is just not right
Cause I know that I've got to get out of here
I'm so alone
Don't you know that I got to get out of here
Cause New York's not my home

Though all the streets are crowded
There's something strange about it
I've lived there 'bout a year
and I never once felt at home
I thought I made the big time
I learned a lot of lessons off the quick
and now I'm telling you
That they were not the nice kind

It's been so long since I have felt fine
That's the reason that I've got to get out of here
I'm so alone
Don't you know that I got to get out of here
Cause New York's not my home

That's the reason that I've got to get out of here
I'm so alone
Don't you know that I got to get out of here
Cause New York's not my home
