He was standing on the highway[00:00:16]
Somewhere way out in the sticks[00:00:18]
Guitar across his shoulder[00:00:20]
Like a 30 ought six[00:00:22]
He was staring in my headlights[00:00:24]
When I come around the bend[00:00:26]
Climbed up on my shotgun side[00:00:29]
And told me with a grin[00:00:31]
I'm going to New York City[00:00:33]
I never really been there[00:00:37]
Just like the way it sounds[00:00:39]
I heard the girls are pretty[00:00:40]
There must be something happening there[00:00:45]
It's just too big a town[00:00:47]
He was cold and wet and hungry[00:00:49]
But he never did complain[00:00:50]
Said he'd come a thousand miles[00:00:53]
Through sleet and snow and rain[00:00:55]
He had a hundred stories[00:00:57]
About the places that he'd been[00:00:59]
He'd hang around a little while[00:01:01]
And hit the road again[00:01:03]
See I've been to New York City[00:01:36]
Seems like it was yesterday[00:01:38]
I was standing like a pilgrim[00:01:40]
On the Great White Way[00:01:42]
The girls were really pretty[00:01:45]
But they wouldn't talk to me[00:01:46]
I held out about a week[00:01:49]
Went back to Tennessee[00:01:51]
So I thought I'd better warn him[00:01:52]
As he climbed out of my car[00:01:55]
Grabbed his battered suitcase[00:01:57]
And shouldered his guitar[00:01:59]
I knew I was just jealous[00:02:01]
If I didn't wish him well[00:02:03]
I slipped the kid a twenty[00:02:05]
Said 'Billy give 'em hell'[00:02:07]
