New York City Snow Lyrics - Bobby Bare

I was learning how to fly when I left Boise City 

Like summer I was headin' for the fall 

Now the bitter taste of truth it's gettin' hard to swallow 

For a country boy who thought he knew it all 

So cold and tired and broke I can't even pay attention 

And loneliness ain't fit and warm to wear 

And home is just a word it hurts me now to mention 

Yes I've gone too far to get back there from here 

Hear the Salvation Army band a playin' I hear questions but the answers I don't know 

The silence fell the truth for me will soon be dead rain 

Through this cold and lonely New York City snow 

These old New York City sidewalks sure did thrill me 

I guess the right way was the wrong way after all 

Lord I'd sell my soul if just one friend could hear me callin' for 'I'm 

I wish I could afford to make a call 

Hear the Salvation Army 

Through this cold and lonely New York City snow
