I`ll say goodbye to all my sorrows
And by tomorrow, I`ll be on my way
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
I`m so tired of gettin` nowhere
Seein` my prayers go unanswered
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
Well, here I am, Lord, knockin` at your backdoor
Ain`t it wonderful to be,
Where I`ve always wanted to be
For the first time I`ll be free here in New York City
Say goodbye, to all my sorrows
And by tomorrow, I`ll be on my way
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
So tired of gettin` nowhere
Seein` my prayers go unanswered
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
Well, here I am, Lord, knockin` at your backdoor
Ain`t it wonderful to be,
Where I`ve always wanted to be
For the first time I`ll be free here in New York City
Onnn onnnnahhhh ahhh onnn
