Verse 1

  When i first saw New York city

I was green down to the core

You could see my red neck glowing

For a mile or maybe more

  Between the hustlers and the hookers

I must have made their day

Cause they peeled me like an apple,Lawd

  And sent me on my way

Bridge 1

When you're pushed and shoved and almost mugged

It ain't no place to be

So i came to one conclusion

  New York ain't for me

Chorus

  From sea to shining sea

And coast to coast

Somewhere in the middle

Is the land i love the most

  I ain't California pretty

I can't survive the Great White Way

I'm too dumb for New York city

  And too ugly for L.A.

Verse 2

I made my way to Tinseltown

To Hollywood and Vine

Out among those pretty faces

I'd surely find a place for mine

  The way i walk-the way i talk

They'll hang on every word

But don't call me,i'll call you

  Was all i ever heard

Bridge 2

In L.A. what they're thinking

Ain't what they talk about

At least in New York city

  There's never any doubt

Chorus.

  I'm too dumb for New York city

  And too ugly for L.A.
