Homestate - 群星

Sometimes when I'm driving late in the night

When there's that

Special kind of early morning light

When the evergreen

Stands out in the dark

I'm thinking about that

Northern state of New York

New York

New York state

Was good to me

'Cause I found a wife and made a family

If anyone asks what it means to me

Well it's the nearest to home

I'll ever be New York

New York

New York City's just a part of the state

Some people hate it

I think it's great

It's an honest city

Won't tell you a lie

It'll take your money look you straight in the eye

New York

When the city got too much to take

When the pressure built up

And we thought we'd break

When everyone else

Was heading south

We went our own way

We headed north of New York

New York state

Was good to me

'Cause I found a wife and made a family

If anyone asks what it means to me

Well it's the nearest to home

I'll ever be New York

New York

I wish I could take

That trip again

Five hundred miles up to Lake Champlain

Fishing for supper in a

Home made boat

The love we made and the songs

I wrote of New York

And then we rented a house

On the Long Island Sand

Where work in the city was

Close at hand

In the summer we swam in Montauk Bay

And England felt

So far away from New York

New York state

Was good to me

'Cause I found a wife and made a family

If anyone asks what it means to me

Well it's the nearest to home

I'll ever be New York

New York

And it may sound strange that an Englishman

Should lose his heart

To a foreign land

Maybe it's because I've been away

Too long from her

It's hard to say New York

New York state

Was good to me

'Cause I found a wife and made a family

If anyone asks what it means to me

Well it's the nearest to home

I'll ever be New York

New York

New York
