Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

 There's just something about this hotel

 Got me wishing I was dead

 Gotta get outta New York City, son

 Somewhere I can clear my head

 I was just kicking along the sidewalk

 Don't wanna look you straight in the eyes

 Don't wanna ask you how you’re doing

 Don't seem to care if you live or if you die

Chorus

 Just gotta get me somewhere

 Somewhere that I can feel free

 Gotta get outta New York city, boy

 New York City's killing me.

Verse 2

(same progression as Verse 1)

Just outside of Nashville

I met the woman of my dreams

Sure would like to get to know her

Maybe find out what it means

Get so tired of all this country

Get so tired of all this noise

Gotta get back up in my country

Have a couple drinks with the good ol' boys

Chorus

(same progression as previous Chorus)

Just gotta me somewhere

Somewhere that I can feel free

Get me outta outta New York city, son

New York City's killing me

Chorus

(same progression as previous Chorus)

Just gotta me somewhere

Somewhere that I can feel free

Get me outta outta New York city, son

New York City's killing me
