Artist: Neil Diamond
Title: 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 

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.....
