Well, I recognized every street that I'd seen in the movies
I spent 24 hours on my feet, just walking around
And my heart never beat so fast in all the years I'd been waiting
Because heaven only knows, I never felt so close
I was 6 years old when I saw Spiderman
Crouched down on a garbage can
New York City, she's my rock n roll
And she won't take back a cent I owe
A mom and dad to this restless soul
You made me second to none
New York, the mother, adopts another wandering son
I was the only kid in school to find his own education
The kind The Dolls, Ramones and Kiss laid down
So I'll wipe that tear and watch the dust start clearing on West St.
Because heaven only know, I never felt so close
I was 9 years old when they shot James Caan
Over by the toll-booth stand
New York City, she's my rock n roll
And she won't take back a cent I owe
A mom and dad to this restless soul
You made me second to none
New York, the mother, adopts another wandering son
Darling, you mean more to me that I thought you'd be
Hey darling, you're the guts I need to turn off TV
36 years old when they tried to beat you down
Who do they think that they're messing around?
New York City, she's my rock n roll
And she won't take back a cent I owe
A mom and dad to this restless soul
You made me second to none
New York, the mother, adopts another wandering son
