************** TOO DUMB FOR NEW YORK CITY ***************

written by Waylon Jennings and Basil McDavid

performed by Waylon Jennings.

Verse 1:
DD Piano Chord 

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
AA Piano Chord 

Between the hustlers and the hookers

I must have made their day

Cause they peeled me like an apple,Lawd
DD Piano Chord 

And sent me on my way

Bridge 1:

When you're pushed and shoved and almost mugged

It ain't no place to be

So i came to one conclusion
AA Piano Chord 

New York ain't for me

Chorus:
DD Piano Chord 


And coast to coast

Somewhere in the middle

Is the land i love the most
AA Piano Chord 

I ain't California pretty

I can't survive the Great White Way

I'm too dumb for New York city
DD Piano Chord 

And too ugly for L.A.

Verse 2:

I made my way to Tinseltown

To Hollywood and Vine

Out among those pretty faces

I'd surely find a place for mine
AA Piano Chord 

The way i walk-the way i talk

They'll hang on every word

But don't call me,i'll call you
DD Piano Chord 

Was all i ever heard

Bridge 2:

In L.A. what they're thinking

Ain't what they talk about

At least in New York city
AA Piano Chord 

There's never any doubt

Chorus.

AA Piano Chord 

I'm too dumb for New York city
DD Piano Chord 

And too ugly for L.A.
