Artist/Band: Neil Diamond
Lyrics for Song: New York Boy
Lyrics for Album: Forever Neil Diamond [2006]



New York City, look at me now

Being stared at from behind the plow

Mississippi, don't get annoyed

I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy



Didn't want the mayor to come

Or a big brass band to greet me

But then the reception I got

Well it wasn't what I had in mind

People gawkin' at me

Like I'm talkin' strange

Me, I ain't much better

'Cause I'm thinkin' the same

Hey boy



New York City, look at me now

Being stared at from behind the plow

Mississippi, don't get annoyed

I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy



Sayin' y'all and eatin' on grits

Talkin' as slow as molasses

And all the time just pointing at me

And the hair growin' over my ears



Gets my mind to wonderin'

Just who's right and who's wrong

I guess if they'll get used to the sideburns

I'll get used to the corn

Hey boy



New York City, look at me now

Being stared at from behind the plow

Mississippi, don't get annoyed

I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy



New York City, look at me now

Being stared at from behind the plow

Mississippi, don't get annoyed

I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy

New York City look at me now.....
