Could leave this candy everytime behind
To get out while I still can
Go to New York city, with this guitar in my hand.
To get out while I still can
Go to New York city, with this guitar in my hand.

Gonna leave this candy apple town behind
Gonna get out while I still can
Going to New York city, with this guitar in my hand.
Gonna get out while I still can
Going to New York city, with this guitar in my hand.

Misheard Lyrics:
I sing for these tourists, by the dream life on the water
The dream make it's broken, this life's yet harder and harder
Could leave this candy everytime behind
To get out while I still can
Go to New York city, with this guitar in my hand.
The dream make it's broken, this life's yet harder and harder
Could leave this candy everytime behind
To get out while I still can
Go to New York city, with this guitar in my hand.
Original Lyrics:
I sing for these tourists, by I dream life on the water
This dream it gets broken, as life gets harder and harder
Gonna leave this candy apple town behind
Gonna get out while I still can
Going to New York city, with this guitar in my hand.
This dream it gets broken, as life gets harder and harder
Gonna leave this candy apple town behind
Gonna get out while I still can
Going to New York city, with this guitar in my hand.

Misheard Lyrics:
We see those pretty peer lights, hear those carnival sounds
We stop right at the top tonight, the first view goes around.
We stop right at the top tonight, the first view goes around.
Original Lyrics:
We'll see those pretty pier lights, hear those carnival sounds
We'll stop right at the top tonight, as the ferris wheel goes around.
We'll stop right at the top tonight, as the ferris wheel goes around.
John Cafferty And The Beaver Brown Band's, "NYC Song"
Misheard Lyrics:
Wish all these stars to know, the player in these bars to know
Hold up in your arms to know, the prisoner of my heart to know
Go to New York city, to find out where I stay.
Hold up in your arms to know, the prisoner of my heart to know
Go to New York city, to find out where I stay.
Original Lyrics:
Been wishin on these stars too long, been playin in these bars too long
Been hold up in your arms too long, been a prisoner of my heart too long
Going to New York city,gonna find out where I stand.
Been hold up in your arms too long, been a prisoner of my heart too long
Going to New York city,gonna find out where I stand.
