New York Girl
[Verse 1]
She’s a New York girl in California
She’s gone away
And she ain’t coming back
She works too hard
Can’t come untracked

[Chorus]
If I could say what I needed
It wouldn’t be like that

[Verse 2]
Oh, I had my chance
A quick romance
But I was too damn shy
And now she’s gone away
And I’m all alone on the Fourth of July

[Chorus]
And all these folk singers at the bar
They’re playing the soundtrack to this pity party of mine
[Bridge]
If I could say these words, I wouldn’t be sleeping on my own
If I could say these words, we wouldn’t be on different coasts
But every minute of every day, well, I’m still haunted by her ghost
Oh, I’m still hauntеd by her ghost

[Verse 3]
She’s a New York girl in California
Shе’s gone away
And she ain’t coming back
She lives her life on a golden track

[Chorus]
If I could say what I needed
If I could say what I needed
You know, if I could say what I needed
It wouldn’t be like that
