Artist/Band: Waylon Jennings
Lyrics for Song: Too Dumb for New York City
Lyrics for Album: The Collection [Madacy] [2005]



(Waylon Jennings - Basil McDavid)



When I first saw New York City

I was green down to the core

You could see my red neck glowing

For a mile or maybe more.



Between the hustlers and the hookers

I must have made their day

They peeled me like an apple

Lord and sent me on my way.



When you're pushed and shoved and almost mugged

it ain't no place to be

So I came to one conclusion

New York ain't for me.



From sea to shining sea

And coast to coast

Somewhere in the middle

Is the land I love the most.



I ain't California pretty

I can't survive the great white way

I'm too dumb for New York City

And too ugly for LA.



Well, I made my way to Tinseltown

Hollywood and Vine

Out among those pretty faces

I'd surely find a place for mine.



The way I walk, the way I talk

They'll hang on every word

Don't call me I'll call you

Was all I ever heard.



In LA what they're thinking

Ain't what they talk about

At least in New York City

There's never any doubt.



From sea to shining sea

And coast to coast

Somewhere in the middle

Is the land I love the most.



I'm too dumb for New York City

And too ugly for LA...
