New York's Not My Home Lyrics

Artist: Jim Croce

Well, things were spinnin’ ‘round me
And all my thoughts were cloudy
And I had begun to doubt all the things that were me

Been in so many places
You know I’ve run so many races
And looked into the empty faces of the people of the night
And something is just not right

‘Cause I know that I gotta get out of here
I’m so alone
Don’t you know that I gotta get out of here
‘Cause, New York’s not my home

Though all the streets are crowded
There’s something strange about it
I lived there ‘bout a year and I never once felt at home

I thought I’d make the big time
I learned a lot of lessons awful quick
And now I’m tellin’ you
That they were not the nice kind

And it’s been so long since I have felt fine

That’s the reason that I gotta get out of here
I’m so alone
Don’t you know that I gotta get out of here
‘Cause New York’s not my home

That’s the reason that I gotta get out of here
I’m so alone
Don’t you know that I gotta get out of here
‘Cause New York’s not my home

The lyrics to this song, heard for the first time while stretching by myself in an aerobics room, gave me the courage and power to leave my one-sided / two-sighted marriage behind. Through my faith and His compassion, God turned my sorrow into joys! I praise God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and I thank the soulful Jim Croce for restoring my crushed spirit and barely beating heart. May God sing with you, who are reading this, and grant you His Peace. With God's Grace ~ Melanie
