new york city i was born and raised
and i threw it away
nothing to do but play guitar all day
and i threw it away
i threw it away to ride horses
but i had to give it up eventually
and i never ever thought it could happen
but you know those horses they were riding me
oh i threw it away
i had a love you don't find everyday
and i threw it away
ten thousand dollars i had managed to save
and i threw it away
i threw it away on the ocean
and then i threw it away on the sky
so what do i need with the ocean
and what do i need with the sky
threw it away
i threw it away
new york city i was born and raised
and i threw it away
nothing to do but play guitar all day
and i threw it away
i threw it away on the ocean
and then i threw it away on the sky
so what do i need with the ocean
and what do i need with the sky
i threw it away
so sad i threw it away
and i threw it away
nothing to do but play guitar all day
and i threw it away
i threw it away to ride horses
but i had to give it up eventually
and i never ever thought it could happen
but you know those horses they were riding me
oh i threw it away
i had a love you don't find everyday
and i threw it away
ten thousand dollars i had managed to save
and i threw it away
i threw it away on the ocean
and then i threw it away on the sky
so what do i need with the ocean
and what do i need with the sky
threw it away
i threw it away
new york city i was born and raised
and i threw it away
nothing to do but play guitar all day
and i threw it away
i threw it away on the ocean
and then i threw it away on the sky
so what do i need with the ocean
and what do i need with the sky
i threw it away
so sad i threw it away
