"I want to get away," I thought, but was I to go? the cars are full, the subways busy, I'm at a dead end So I went out and lived right up, I knew I not abide, So I my dues and gave my mind To a lack of unfortunate
So I grabbed my troubled heart, took my on a train I've got my ticket to New York, and I'm going to run And if you try and hold me back, I'll come and you wrong You know, the city don't seem so bad if it's where been all along
I want to go and live my life, but I knew I'd no sign, The days light, the clocks lost time, and the lonely lost their minds, And you have never lost your mind, a or dream of friend, But it brings out these old, used thoughts, that you don't understand
So I grabbed my troubled heart, my dreams on a train I've got my ticket to New York, and I'm going to run And if you try and hold me back, I'll come and prove you You know, the city don't seem so bad if it's where you've been all
I know they say you buy love, but what had I to pay? A time, a start, or an end take me far away. They say that you think differently, say it like it's bad, But this whole time, you wish see exactly what you had
So I grabbed my troubled heart, took my dreams on a got my ticket to New York, and now I'm far away, And if you come and me, I'd let you tag along, Being don't seem so bad, when it's loneliness in song
