I'll say goodbye
to all my sorrows
And by tomorrow,
I'll be on my way
I guess the Lord must be
in New York City
I'm so tired
of gettin' nowhere
Seein' my prayers
go unanswered
I guess the Lord must be
in New York City
Well, here I am, Lord,
knockin' at your backdoor
Ain't it wonderful to be,
Where I've always wanted to be
For the first time I'll be free here
in New York City
Say goodbye,
to all my sorrows
And by tomorrow,
I'll be on my way
I guess the Lord must be
in New York City
So tired
of gettin' nowhere
And seein' my prayers
go unanswered
I guess the Lord must be
in New York City
Well, here I am, Lord,
knockin' at your backdoor
Ain't it wonderful to be,
Where I've always wanted to be
For the first time I'll be free here
in New York City
