************** TOO DUMB FOR NEW YORK CITY ***************
written by Waylon Jennings and Basil McDavid
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Verse 1:
When i first saw New DYork city
I was green down to the core
You could see my red neck glowing
For a mile or maybe more
Between the hustlers Aand the hookers
I must have made their day
Cause they peeled me like an apple,Lawd
And sent me on my way D
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 ainA't for me
Chorus:
From sea to sDhining sea
And coast to coast
Somewhere in the middle
Is the land i love the most
I ain't CaliforniAa pretty
I can't survive the Great White Way
I'm too dumb for New York city
And too ugly for L.A. D
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 walAk-the way i talk
They'll hang on every word
But don't call me,i'll call you
Was all i ever heard D
Bridge 2:
In L.A. what they're thinking
Ain't what they talk about
At least in New York city
There's nevAer any doubt
Chorus.
I'm too dumbA for New York city
And too ugly for L.A. D
