Homestate - Allen Taylor[00:00:01]
Sometimes when I'm driving late in the night[00:00:07]
When there's that special kind of early morning light[00:00:10]
When the evergreen stands out in the dark[00:00:13]
I'm thinking about that northern state of New York and New York[00:00:17]
New York state was good to me[00:00:28]
'Cause I found a wife and made a family[00:00:31]
If anyone asks what it means to me[00:00:35]
Well it's the nearest to home I'll ever be in New York[00:00:38]
New York[00:00:45]
New York city's just a part of the state[00:00:49]
Some people hate it, I think it's great[00:00:52]
It's an honest city, won't tell you a lie[00:00:56]
And take your money and look you straight in the eye, New York[00:00:59]
When the city got too much to take[00:01:10]
When the pressure built up and we thought we'd break[00:01:13]
When everyone else was a'heading south[00:01:17]
We went our own way and we a'headed north of New York[00:01:20]
New York state was good to me[00:01:31]
'Cause I found a wife and made a family[00:01:34]
If anyone asks what it means to me[00:01:38]
Well it's the nearest to home I'll ever be in New York[00:01:41]
New York[00:01:48]
Well I wish I could take that trip again[00:01:52]
Five hundred miles up to Lake Champlain[00:01:55]
Fishing for supper in a home made boat[00:01:59]
The love we made and the songs I wrote of New York[00:02:02]
And we rented a house on the Long Island sand[00:02:13]
Where work in the city was close at hand[00:02:16]
In the summer we swam in the Montauk Bay[00:02:20]
And England felt so far away from New York[00:02:23]
New York state was good to me[00:02:34]
'Cause I found a wife and made a family[00:02:37]
If anyone asks what it means to me[00:02:41]
Well it's the nearest to home I'll ever be in New York[00:02:44]
New York[00:02:51]
And it may sound strange that an Englishman[00:02:55]
Should lose his heart to a foreign land[00:02:58]
Maybe it's because I've a'been away[00:03:02]
Too long from her, [00:03:05]
it's hard to say, New York[00:03:05]
New York state was good to me[00:03:16]
'Cause I found a wife and made a family[00:03:19]
If anyone asks what it means to me[00:03:23]
Well it's the nearest to home I'll ever be in New York[00:03:26]
New York[00:03:33]
New York[00:03:37]
